- [Narrator] Sometimes a subtle tweak
to your type is all that's necessary.
Here I'm just overlapping one letter with another
and putting a stroke in this case on the E to
better define that overlap.
Now because of a limitation
with the way that strokes work in illustrator
this will require me to convert the type to outlines.
The limitation is that while the type is lined
I won't be able to align the stroke
to the outside or to the inside of the letter shapes.
So it will be sent awaited
and consequently will change the letter shape
which I don't want to happen.
So for that reason, I will start
out with the touch type tool, select the E hold down
my shift key, drag this to the left, to create the overlap.
And then I'll right click
to convert to outlines.
Now I will ungroup
and then select just the E,
come to the appearance panel.
And here I will add a stroke.
I'll increase the weight of the stroke, but so that
that stroke only is visible outside of the letter shape.
I will drag it down beneath the fill
and that might require me to just increase the
weight a little bit more because we are only seeing half
of that stroke weight outside the letter shape.
