A pop-art halftone dot grid over a two-tone base, clipped to the text and gently drifting. Comic-print texture in pure CSS.

Halftone Dots

How it works

Halftone Dots is an animated fill & texture text effect rendered entirely in CSS. It works on a single element — just add the .text-effect class, with no extra HTML.

Controls

Halftone Dots exposes 4 dedicated controls — Hue, Dot Grid, Animate and Speed — 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

/* Halftone Dots — generated with TEXT-FX
 * HTML: just put the class on any element.
 * Font: 'Major Mono Display', monospace (load from Google Fonts).
 */

.text-effect {
  font-family: 'Major Mono Display', monospace;
  font-weight: 700;
  letter-spacing: 4px;
  text-transform: none;
}

.text-effect {
  background: radial-gradient(circle, hsl(34 95% 66%) 30%, transparent 32%), linear-gradient(135deg, hsl(34 80% 20%), hsl(69 85% 30%));
  background-size: 20px 20px, 100% 100%;
  background-position: 0 0, 0 0;
  -webkit-background-clip: text;
  background-clip: text;
  -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
  color: transparent;
  filter: drop-shadow(0 0 10px hsl(34 90% 55% / 0.35));
}

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