Create a letter box using 3D type in Adobe Illustrator

Launch Adobe Illustrator and type a word with a thick font. In this example, Bert uses "R3" using Helvetica Neue Bold. Convert your type to outlines (Type > Create Outlines) so you can manipulate the letter shapes. Use 3D effects (Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel) to make your letters 3 dimensional (turn on Preview to see what is changing). Use Object > Expand Appearance to outline the shapes. Copy and paste these objects as paths into Photoshop. You can transform the path to enlarge your letters.
