Robert Messer had an article in the TUGboat (Vol. 9 No. 1, April 1988)
about doing this.  He placed vertical rules at certain places on the
various letters to get the desired effects.

BTW, the TeX Users Group has lots of good information about TeX.  The cost
to join is only $35 (a mere $25 for students).  The membership fee
includes a subscription to the TUGboat---an invaluable resource for
TeX users.  So, to use the words of Knuth "Don't delay, write today!"
(pg. 483 of the TeXbook).

labor I've dug all the large words out of my vocabulary and shaved it 
down till the average is three and a half...
