I've just started using Illustrator, thanks to the Black Friday deal, and want to achieve this effect. The vector is from Vecteezy.com by caterart. I tried drop shadow but I want that transparent border(?) around the text. And can anyone tell me what font this is? The closest one I found was Regulators.

Thank you.

(It's for a personal use.)

EDIT: I'd like to know how to create this effect and the name of the font if possible. Thanks.

  • Do you want to know what the font is or how to do the effect? – AndrewH Dec 6 '16 at 16:20
  • AH, sorry for not being clear. I'd like to know both. – monty_bean Dec 6 '16 at 16:23
  • Hi monty_bean! We have some requirements for font identification questions, please take a look and edit your question to include that information. – AndrewH Dec 6 '16 at 16:24

    You should have probably asked 2 questions the answer to your shadow question is here, so now you only need to know the font – joojaa Dec 6 '16 at 16:32
  • Wow, thank you. @AndrewH, thanks for the tool, I found the font. – monty_bean Dec 6 '16 at 16:39

The manual way:

  • set your type
  • duplicate twice so you have 3 layers of the same type
  • top layer is the font as-is
  • the layer below that is the font with a stroked outline the same color as you rbackground
  • the layer below that is the font as-is, but shifted down and to the right
