text spline?
Is there a way of creative a single spline running through brush script, or any cursive, connected text that mimics handwriting? I don’t want an outline, but rather, one single line that runs through the middle of the text. It looks like it can be done with brush strokes.

Check the thread “Make a double path one path”
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/245/860964#860964I’m not sure if this will do exactly what you want, but it’s a possible solution.
Or, you could draw a path with the pen tool.

The funny thing is, there are fonts that do this. They are usually used in CAD applications.
i’ve found a couple of different ones over here, but sadly, they won’t work correctly in Illustrator. Something to do with postscript fonts needing closed paths.
