Hi,
How would you make this effect on an existing font the easiest way?

Draw it in illustrator

DUH. I could figure that out. Most of the letters would be easy but f.ex. the S would be a little harder. I am looking for an easy way to make a line excactly in the middle of the letter. You know if there's a way to make f.ex. a bewel effect that would put the a line excactly in the middle of the letters?

blend with 1 step?

the font already has that center line, he just joined a few points.

I'm not sure there even is an 'easiest way'.

if that doesn't do the trick, hand draw in illy.

fucking funny how lazy some people are and they just want a 1 button solution to do everything. Even something as simple as drawing a few lines.
If you're not smart enough to write the solution yourself then you don't deserve the shortcut.

offset negative to "approximate" a center line and go from there

Thx. a lot Intelboy. That was exactly what i was looking for : )
Frutiger and Goudy were font designers and i'm not. I am not even that lazy. I am just interested in doing an effect as precise as possible. If you feel that you deserve something more than me because you take the time to do something by hand instead of using the tools that are already available, be my guest.

the example font doesn't have a modulated stroke, so that's pretty easy... just figure out the width and then offset the path by -width/2.
