Frosted Glass

How it works

Frosted Glass is a static metallic & holographic text effect rendered entirely in CSS. It works on a single element — just add the .text-effect class, with no extra HTML.

Controls

Frosted Glass exposes 1 dedicated control — Tint — 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

/* Frosted Glass — generated with TEXT-FX
 * HTML: just put the class on any element.
 * Font: 'Recursive', sans-serif (load from Google Fonts).
 */

.text-effect {
  font-family: 'Recursive', sans-serif;
  font-weight: 400;
  letter-spacing: 0px;
  text-transform: none;
}

.text-effect {
  background: linear-gradient(180deg, hsl(287 30% 94% / 0.92) 0%, hsl(287 36% 76% / 0.5) 100%);
  -webkit-background-clip: text;
  background-clip: text;
  -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
  color: transparent;
  -webkit-text-stroke: 0.5px hsl(287 45% 100% / 0.55);
  filter: drop-shadow(0 1px 4px hsl(287 60% 82% / 0.4)) drop-shadow(0 0 1px hsl(287 60% 82% / 0.4));
}

Pure CSS — just add the .text-effect class to any element.
