Each row is a cumulative rounded offset band around the whole type silhouette, so a second row wraps the first rather than fighting it. A row coloured None becomes a transparent knockout band, which is how hollow and gapped outlines are made. Raise turns a band into a small 3D step with its own wall colours; Feather softens a band into a vector fade. Rows can be reordered from the row menu.
Strokes is applied as an Illustrator live effect, so the text stays editable. Change the word, the font, or any slider afterwards, and save the result as a Graphic Style to reuse it.
