Circle cut outs (Illustrator)












1














Happy New Year and let's get to the topic :)



I'm a newbie at illustrator so I need some help from your side.



I am trying to recreate this image
enter image description here



I have no idea how to make ideal cutouts with rounded edges and place them closer to the center.
To accomplish this I tried making an arch form and using pathfinder cut out the form, but I can bet that there is an easier and much faster way to recreate this.

          You could start with a circle, add extra anchor points using the Add Anchor Point tool, then simply delete the segments you don't want by selecting them with the Direct Selection tool, and deleting.



          Finish by adding Round Caps to the Stroke, in the Stroke dialog.
