I want to create more english letters like the one in the picture. But the .eps file I downloaded is not editable and the letters are mesh objects. I believe mesh tool experts can tell me how I can create more letters automatically with same styles. The .eps file is attached, have a look.

You are looking into quite a bit of work there.

Only few of these objects are easily re-usable.

But what you could do is create your own new objects much more easily.

The objects in your file are also grouped. Ungroup them and you can mopve them apart.

In order to have meshes flow into each other, assign transparent gradient stops at the edges.

I appreciate you taking the time to make the video. I wish I could design the letters myself, but I cannot because I am a web developer and I just know the basics of Illustrator. I downloaded the file from Freepik so I won't have to design myself, but unfortunately the design is not editable and the letters in the design are what I am looking for.

 

There is a new beta feature called "retype" in Illustrator that I think can solve my issue, but the problem is that I am using an old version and cannot update due to system requirements. If you can try and if it works, you can share the source file with me. That would help a lot.

Retype can only find fonts. But those letters have been vuilt from scratch. Based perhaps on some rounded version of Helvetica. Color fonts can contain a lot, but not meshes.

If those are the letters you need, you can just ungroup the artwork and use those objects.
