Emboss
Shadow & Press · Static · pure CSS
A raised, embossed relief created with opposing light and dark text-shadows that adapt to the theme. A tactile, debossed-paper feel.
How it works
Emboss is a static shadow & press text effect rendered entirely in CSS. It works on a single element — just add the .text-effect class, with no extra HTML.
Controls
Emboss exposes 2 dedicated controls — Depth and Tint Hue — on top of the shared type controls (font, weight, letter-spacing and case). Open it in the generator to tune every value live, then copy the updated CSS.
CSS
/* Emboss — generated with TEXT-FX
* HTML: just put the class on any element.
* Font: 'Space Mono', monospace (load from Google Fonts).
*/
.text-effect {
font-family: 'Space Mono', monospace;
font-weight: 700;
letter-spacing: -2px;
text-transform: none;
}
.text-effect {
color: hsl(151 12% 32%);
text-shadow:
0 -1.5px 0.9px hsl(151 22% 55% / 0.8),
0 1.5px 0.9px hsl(151 45% 3% / 0.9);
}
Pure CSS — just add the .text-effect class to any element.
