How to add this text fill effect in illustrator?

I'm trying to recreate this logo but I can't figure out how to fill the text in so that the background is similar to the text

Hi , I've moved your post from the Photoshop forum to the Illustrator forum where you are more likely to get help with your question.

Apologies for the oversight. I am quite new to the forum and don't know my way around. Thanks for the understandment!

Are you using a font for the text or hand drawing new vector shapes? Are you trying to color the lettering pink like it is in the attached image?

This can be done as a combination between "offset path" effect & the shape builder tool
