Internal chamfer

I would like to be able to "chamfer" some text. I start off with an EPS and extrude it like below.

Above what I would like to achieve is shown in one of the cutouts. If I could loft it somehow? I tried to extude with an angle and this fails. I tried to chamfer each edge but this takes the edge of the material away and will not work on curves. 

 

Thanks

You need to attach your model.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a forum post to attach it.

Chamfer will work well for everything that is the same width.  You may have to do individual edges in a particular order.

You may have to use the Split Body command in order to do each side of varying width letters. In the screencast, the letters were extruded to one halve their width.
