    Nope, other than just buying a pre-made font, I can't.

    I might've suggested creating a one stroke font and somehow filtering that, extruding and or outlining, or whatever, but having tried to make single stroke fonts beforehand (for my laser-cutting thing), I've never managed to get them to work.

    .

    How much did you fart around with the Advanced ImageTrace settings? Illy CC seems more powerful than earlier versions, when pushing the number of paths and corners.

    You're embedding the source Photoshop file as a SmartObject?

    .

    Also - are you trying to do it in colour, or just B&W? The former would seem markedly more difficult to me.

    .

    An interesting problem! :)
