    Hi Jordan,

    I have no idea what you mean, so I came up with these three, because I can't see any reason for the previous examples, although they answer your question better.

    I think we need you to chime in and give us feedback or an example?

    Hi

    Your description is still unclear.

    Please take Jane's example - get a brush and paint in what you want it to look like. Then we may be able to give you the correct advice instead of guessing what it is you want.

    If this is what you had in mind choose Type > Rasterize. Next, use the Magic Wand to Select the type (not Continuous in the Options bar, and then Edit > Stroke and adjust the number of pixels to create a block of lines or the entire paragraph of type.

    Maybe the Minimum filter?

    Is this what are you looking for? It is simple, Stroke set to outside applied to text (Type layer).

    Hi

    Sorry I am not sure what you mean by "the same shape as the text" but "no individual letters available". Perhaps you could show a screenshot of what you are trying to achieve using a brush on a separate layer then we may be able to help you better.
