Im in the end of making a logo. I have done it several times in Illustrator. But Affinity is not Illustrator. So a very easy question. What tool shall I use to have the stroke in the same colour and make it vectorised? Do I need to go in another program?

To add a stroke, avoid Layer FX, as the result will be rasterized during export.

Do you use Designer or Photo?
 

Designer allows to add and adjust one or multiple strokes (appearance panel)

Photo is Limited to create one stroke, centered to the edge, using the pen tool to define the stroke width and color.

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.

Do you have that font installed?

If so, you can adjust both the Fill and Stroke of the letters in any of the Affinity applications, and it should be vector.

It dont work to fill and stroke

In what way doesn't it work?

Can you share your working file with us as a .afdesign or other native Affinity file?

As far as I understand, you have those two letters that are editable text, right? And you want to have the outline of the letters in the same colour as their filling colour, right?

So select the letters by clicking them with the mouse, go to the colours panel, doubleclick on the outline circle, not the filled circle, choose the colour.

You can adapt the colour form the letters by dragging the pipette symbol on to the colour you want. After that you need to click once on the small filled circle on the right of the pipette symbol to confirm your choice.

To convert the letters to curves, rightclick on them and click on "Convert to Curves" in the context menu.

OK, in this case you have to use another app, like Inkscape. That's right.

But it is not to complex to vectorize those letters by hand. And it would be possibly more precise, because you can decide by yourself where you set the nodes and how many you need.
