That sounds reasonable although i'm not so much into those curves ...

BTW, you could do a rounded text object with proximity pattern and an
isosurface (very slow), maybe some kind of proximity calculation could
also help for the parallel curve.

Otherwise i could think of non uniform scaling of the curve depending on
it's curvature (i don't really know if that makes sense, just an intuitive
idea)
