Well you could try a font shadow. Something with multiple borders might have to be done with an image though.

           text-shadow: -1px 0 black, 0 1px black, 1px 0 black, 0 -1px black;

this will not do the efect from the image. I want to make a consistent line around the letter, but with a little spacing from the letter
I luv you @AgnosticDev. You really saved a lot of my time

I think you may want to take a look at CSS text-shadow

You cannot achieve multiple borders but you can do some amazing things with it:

You could simulate stroked text as in this previous answer:-
