The stroke applied is for the entire shape as a whole and not just the letters. I tried converting text to path, Union them and then tried applying stroke. But I still get this
Is it possible to add stroke to 2024 as a whole and not just limit to individual letters? Thanks.
My first thought was to use the clone and bounding box path effects, but that's much too complicated. The simplest solution I can offer is to fill the gap with a background circle (or any other shape).
Dynamic offset is an Inkscape feature that doesn't appear in the svg spec so it's not understood by browsers or other applications. [Path > Object to Path] converts the offset shape to a regular path.

Hi, Happy New Year :)
How to apply stroke to a shape like this?

Duplicate your text [ctrl+d] then [Path > Object to Path] then [Path > Dynamic Offset] then use the node tool [n] to adjust the offset distance.
Works like a charm. Always wondered how to achieve this effect. Thanks :)
Hi, a small doubt. Any chance we can ignore the break at spacing?

Yep, sounds like plan :)
I left out the last step.

No need to duplicate text in my opinion - just change the Order to Stroke/Fill/Markers:
Thanks @Polygon :)
