Faux Bold equivalent

[lukenet]

Hi,

I have a font that I am using for a logo but I need to bold it up a little and then apply a black stroke around the outside of the bold text.

I would normal achieve this in PS by using the faux bold command on the font then, I am free to colour the font with the colour I need. Then, with the example I am working with, I would apply a black stroke to the outside.

This would give a nice coloured text that is quite bold & thick but also a nice black border stroke.

My question is, How do I do this in Illustrator CS or 10? I can’t find an equivalent to faux bold in illustrator.

Any suggestions?
