The process is not hard!
My "Download" link, in my signature below, has all kinds of lessons one of which is titled "Text Cut-Outs"

The lesson shows how to work up your design and making sure all parts of fancy letters are connected. In your case, you will also want to be sure to connect the letters to each other. I speak about this connection about 5 minutes into the lesson.

I did find a font that image was made from, Looks like they were a hand drawing. I started to make a font of the drawings. Not sure if this will work. Maybe best to make a pattern.

One thing I'll say is that that project has a LOT of thin pieces that will be end grain no matter how you place it on a board. I would surely use baltic birch plywood if I were making that-- and good luck
