Might be missing something obvious but can't work this out.
If I create a text object, then copy and duplicate, how do make the width of the duplicate text smaller whilst maintaining the length of the object.
I have worked out that I can use borders around text to create a smaller version however the effect is not suffice.
Effectively what I want to achieve is the 'feather' effect that reduces the width but retain the overall shape and dimension without any distortions.

Hopefully I have described sufficiently what I am trying to achieve!!!
