I would simply model the geometry.

Just play around with Extrude (with Taper also), Offset, Chamfer etc to get various effects. Using different Bodies to easily set the colors/appearance of front and back sections.

 

(If you know which font was used you don't even have to sketch the shapes. Just use Text in a sketch.)

Helo EdvinTailwind,

 

Thanks for your time!

That's one of the idea to think about, takes time though.

I thought the quickest option will be a existing  font where you can just type any text to get the required effect.

 

"There are many fonts available online that are similar to the sample shown above. I was just wondering if something like this is already available in Inventor."

Inventor supports Windows TrueType fonts, so if you find a font you like, you can use it.

I would avoid fonts that have shadowing and contours/outline, as these are effects that you want to control, right? These attributes may also cause unexpected collisions when being extruded or modified.

 

Here are some suggestions:

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Chewy?preview.text=HeLLO

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Boogaloo?preview.text=HeLLO

https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Sniglet?preview.text=HeLLO


...but I'm sure you can find more:

Download the TTF, install in Windows, restart Inventor, type the text, extrude and viola! 😄
