Mesh Gradient

Gradient Fill · Animated · pure CSS

Four soft color blobs blended into a smooth mesh and clipped to the glyphs, with an optional slow drift. A modern, multi-directional gradient fill.

Mesh Gradient

How it works

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

Controls

Mesh Gradient exposes 4 dedicated controls — Hue, Spread, Drift 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

/* Mesh Gradient — made with TEXT-FX · https://text-fx.app
 * HTML: just put the class on any element.
 * Font: 'Bungee', cursive (load from Google Fonts).
 */

.text-effect {
  font-family: 'Bungee', cursive;
  font-weight: 400;
  letter-spacing: -1px;
  text-transform: none;
}

.text-effect {
  background:
    radial-gradient(55% 55% at 18% 22%, hsl(62 58% 62%), transparent 70%),
    radial-gradient(55% 55% at 82% 18%, hsl(92 58% 65%), transparent 70%),
    radial-gradient(60% 60% at 70% 82%, hsl(122 56% 63%), transparent 70%),
    radial-gradient(55% 55% at 25% 78%, hsl(152 58% 60%), transparent 70%),
    hsl(107 50% 62%);
  background-size: 180% 180%;
  -webkit-background-clip: text;
  background-clip: text;
  -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
  color: transparent;

}

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