Glow Outline
Outline & Stroke · Animated · pure CSS
Hollow letters with a bright colored stroke lit by a drop-shadow halo, plus an optional broken-sign flicker. A neon tube outline.
How it works
Glow Outline is an animated outline & stroke text effect rendered entirely in CSS. It works on a single element — just add the .text-effect class, with no extra HTML.
Controls
Glow Outline exposes 4 dedicated controls — Hue, Stroke, Glow and Flicker — 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
/* Glow Outline — generated with TEXT-FX
* HTML: just put the class on any element.
* Font: 'Space Grotesk', sans-serif (load from Google Fonts).
*/
.text-effect {
font-family: 'Space Grotesk', sans-serif;
font-weight: 700;
letter-spacing: 0px;
text-transform: none;
}
.text-effect {
color: transparent;
-webkit-text-stroke: 3px hsl(103 95% 62%);
filter: drop-shadow(0 0 13px hsl(103 100% 60% / 0.95)) drop-shadow(0 0 26px hsl(103 100% 60% / 0.95)) drop-shadow(0 0 49.4px hsl(103 100% 60% / 0.95));
animation: text-effect-flicker 3.5s steps(1, end) infinite;
}
@keyframes text-effect-flicker {
0%, 100% { opacity: 1; }
41% { opacity: 1; }
43% { opacity: 0.35; }
45% { opacity: 1; }
72% { opacity: 1; }
74% { opacity: 0.5; }
76% { opacity: 1; }
}
Pure CSS — just add the .text-effect class to any element.
