Add another new stroke and make it black, and increase the stroke weight to make it thicker. Add another new stroke (green), and make it even thicker. Arrange the various strokes and fills so that they are stacked properly. You should end up with something like this:

    This is probably achieved through type or rather use of custome brushes. Looking into it there's a artistic features that would support my argument.

    To me it looks like it's not made automatically. You can create guidelines by using Object > Path > Offset path with a negative offset value. From then on draw the necessary shapes. You can use the shapebuilder tools to create the final shapes.
