Jagged edges using stroke on text in Illustrator

[joshuabonaparte]

Hello,

I can't seem to find a solution to get rid of these jagged edges when applying stroke to my text. Any tricks or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Which version of Illustrator are you using?

Also, this doesn't look like a plain stroke appearance applied to the text object. You obviously did something else to create this pseudo 3D appearance. What was it? Can you elaborate a bit?

To me it looks like a blend with about 12 steps.

I'm using Illustrator 2019 version 23.0.3. In the appearance panel I went: stroke > fx > distort and transform > transform >

those were the settings I used. Thanks for the help

Increase the number of copies and/or make the Move distance smaller.

Thank you, moving the distance helped
