    If it’s just for THAT text – won’t take more than 10 minutes to redraw manually (overlaid on the picture) as it’s just boxes.

    Never seen that as a font before – could it just be as a logo.

    Import image.

    Pick a ‘thickness’ that best suits one of the ‘legs’ of the text – this can then be extended, rotated etc.

    Just do ALL the verticals (ALL SAME HEIGHT when required)…then all the horizontals…zoom in & IGNORE the background image and make sure the ‘boxes’ are aligned…rotate one for the ‘R’ & ‘K’ and weld the whole lot. Ditch the image, then go round the welded ‘text’ – double click & adjust/delete any errant nodes.

    Job done.

    Not bad mate.

    Just a wee note – just use the one thickness of rectangle for the text & duplicate it over & over…dragging the copies along the same axis, then use the same one & rotate it. That way the text will be more uniform in size…it’s also MUCH faster!

    Dave

    ps. what software are you using?
