Warp text without distorting it?

I would like to do a text style similar to the one in this poster, but when I use arc lower or envelope distort, the text gets all weird and angled. Any ideas?

Convert font to outlines, then manipulate the anchor points yourself. Any use of envelop distort will "distort" the text. Use a circle and grid as a guideline. Not easy to do, but with patience you can pull it off. Good luck.

Warp won't create text as in the example.

    The text on the poster was drawn that way.
