The helvetica C maybe works, but the stroke seems heavier than the
rest so it feels a little unbalanced. Helvetica has lighter weights,
but either I don't have them or I haven't figured out how to select
it. I also sort of feel that with the serifs are gone from the OC now
the serifs seem out of place on the T, but helvetica's T seems too
narrow and too high. Another option would be to use OO and float a
white box over part of the last O.

\usepackage[scaled=0.95]{helvet}

\text{\sffamily O}\hspace{-0.07cm}\text{\sffamily
C}\hspace{-0.04cm}^{\text{\footnotesize
T}}\hspace{-0.04cm}\bm{\forall}\mathcal{V}\hspace{-0.04cm}\mathcal{E}

\text{\sffamily O}\hspace{-0.07cm}\text{\sffamily
C}\hspace{-0.04cm}^{\text{\footnotesize\sffamily
T}}\hspace{-0.04cm}\bm{\forall}\mathcal{V}\hspace{-0.04cm}\mathcal{E}
