Then select two copies, click on the Path Finder (CTRL+SHIFT+F9) panel to subtract the top layer, combine the resulting shapes into a compound path (ctrl+8), set the fill color to r:180g:13 b:7, reduce its opacity to 25%, and blend mode to soft light.
Re-select the compound path of "letters" and copy two copies (Control+c >control+f >control+f). Select the top-level replica and move the 2px. Select two copies, click on the Path Finder (CTRL+SHIFT+F9) panel to subtract the top layer, combine the resulting shapes into a compound path (ctrl+8), set the fill color to r:180 g:13 b:7, reduce its opacity to 25%, and change the blending mode to soft light.
Re-letters the compound path and copy two copies (Control+c >control+f >control+f), select the top copy and move 3px, and then select two copies, in the Pathfinder (CTRL+SHIFT+F9) Click on the panel to subtract the top layer, combine the resulting shapes into a compound path (ctrl+8), set the fill color to r:180 g:13 b:7, reduce its opacity to 25%, and change the blending mode to soft light.
Select the "letters" compound path again, then select the object > Path > Path offset, the displacement value is 1px, click OK. Select the resulting shape and copy (Control+c >control+f).

Select all the shapes in this step, click on the Path Finder (CTRL+SHIFT+F9) panel to subtract the top layer, set the fill color to r:180g:13 b:7, change the blending mode to soft light, then select Effects > Blur > Gaussian blur, Radius set to 1px, click OK.
Next, you need to copy the appearance settings of the "paragraph" Compound path and paste it onto the "letters" compound path. You can follow these steps to make it easy to copy a large number of appearances: Back to the Layers panel, on the right side of the layers panel, you'll notice that each shape has a small circle icon behind it, which is called the target icon. Press the ALT key, click on the "paragraph" target icon, and drag onto the "letters" compound path, the "paragraph" compound path's appearance settings are copied to the "letters" compound path.
After the copy is complete, you need to make some minor changes. Select the letters compound path, click to open the Appearance panel: first, open the five fill color drop-down shadow effect, change the color to (for effect) r:50 g:0 b:0; move to a white fill, open an existing path offset effect, and change the offset value to -8px; Adjust the white fill, select the White fill, Select Effects > Blur > Gaussian blur, Blur radius to 2px, click OK.
