: How can I create this disconnected block letter effect I want to recreate the effect applied to "VINTAGE" in the image. I thought it was just creating text with black stroke and duplicating

I want to recreate the effect applied to "VINTAGE" in the image.

I thought it was just creating text with black stroke and duplicating it. Removing the stroke from the duplicate and then moving it to the desired position, but then I noticed that the stroke, if you will, is transparent.There is a gap between the two texts. hmmmm.

Is there a quick way to do this?

EDIT: Trying to get @AndrewH answer to work.
@AndrewH Thanks for the help, but I can't get it to work. I've followed word for word a few times and can't get it. I'll list what I have done. I use the type tool and type out the word. I then resize and add a 4pt stroke with the color red. Fill is black. I then select the text and - "object - transform - move" -4px, 4px and "copy". The new text is already selected. I send it to the back. And I remove the stroke. I use selection tool and select the original text (with stroke) and object - expand with stroke and fill options selected. I then select all on layer (both texts) and use "trim" option. All that happens is the red stroke disappears on the original.

My method requires turning the text into outlines.

Write the text with the desired font. Add a stroke of a different color. I used a 4pt stroke.

Note: I also made the stroke on the outside in the strokes options panel but this may not be necessary.

Select the font and go to object -> Transform -> Move (Make sure to hit copy!). I did -4px, 4px. This depends on how much offset you want.

I then turned the type with the stroke into outlines (Object -> Expand, and then object -> Expand Appearance to expand the stroke and fill)

Select both type layers and open the path finder options. Select the "Trim" options (I had the type with the stroke on top). I then selected the direct select tool, clicked on the red part, went to Select -> Same -> Fill Color to select the other red parts and deleted.

result

Note: My method requires you to make the text in outlines. If you want to do this effect with editable text then you will need to do each layer and make it into a new font.
