Illustrator make lines smoother

[pikosan]

Hi guys, I am really really new in illustrator so here isthe thing. I was researching it but I didn't get the answer so if you help me please.
I am trying to make a logo and it is a basic text logo. The Capital letter 'M' font Android and i notices that the lines (or curves) are kinda pixeled. I am tryiongto make them smoother. I tried using smooth tool but did not manage to rid of this "stair" effect. I tried to make outline 2 px black but it helped partially. What is the procedure in this case? When I look at professional logos everything is smooth to a pixel and I would like to learn how to achieve it. Thank you

Hi pikosan and Welcome to PSG

Can I ask what tool did you use to create the shape?

Are you familiar with the Pen Tool

hi, thank youy for reply,

i uded the type tool and applied the Android font to it. I tried to use the pen tool, but i still had this 'stair effect' on my lines. but now after I watched this awsome tutorial I managed to repeat the action and the lines are much smoother! But is there any way to make the font to become smoother or I will have to draw it myself if i want perfect lines? What would be the best practice? Thank you.
