Custom stroke settings

Question

Hi yall,I'd like to make the black stroke look like the screenshotted stroke in blue underneath. The difference is subtle, but the internal corners are softer and the line weight varies slightly around the letter, not sure how to achieve this??Not sure if its done as a stroke or after expanding, but I've tried Distort/Roughen and different brushes and its not looking right, any help appreciated thanks!!

Is there a way of getting that style without using a brush or the roughen setting? Is there any other tool or technique in illustrator that could get that outcome without then handrawing?

Thank you so much for your help!!

Brush

Outline & Roughen effect

Width tool

Plugins (stute Graphics, not free)

Those are your options.

Roughen could work if you first apply the Outline stroke effect and then Roughen. Make sure that in the Appearance panel Outline stroke is also sitting on top of Roughen.

You could also check out the Width tool.
