How to shorten path from SVG?

Question

SVG

I have a text logo that is drawn using the
Gotham Pro font. In order for the logo letters to be a vector instead of font-family
styled text , I parsed the object. The output is a big mess from path . How can I shorten these path s ? Because I've seen font logos that had more letters, but they only had one path . I have attached the source code for my logo:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 154.53 40.49">
              <defs>
                <style>.a{fill:#fff;}.b{fill:#bbb;}</style>
              </defs>
              <title>Logo</title>

Answer 1

After the object has been disassembled, make a compound path, you get one path.
But it will still be large, since the number of points will remain unchanged.
