What did you do before you got into sign making ??

So this guy will not let you substitute anything? Other than outline, inline, clean up and any other stroke tool, I have nothing.

I suggest you show him that website...maybe he will change his mind.

print out the font as is, fill in the rough spots with a marker to where it has the exact same shapes but now smoother. Scan in your new art and autotrace or vectorize the new smoother lettering. The old fashioned way and alot less nodes to deal with. Or use the smooth tool in Illustrator

The simple fact is that the font is supposed to look rough. It will look just like his business card when you step back to an equivalent viewing distance. All that is needed is for you to express your concerns over how it will look when viewed from a closer point. If the client says do it anyway, then do it. If the client requests you to reduce the roughness, then do it and charge him extra for the time it will take you.
