Extruded Outline

Outline & Stroke · Static · pure CSS

Hollow letters pushed into 3D by a stacked offset shadow in a deeper shade, so the outline itself reads as a chunky block.

Extruded Outline

How it works

Extruded Outline is a static 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

Extruded Outline exposes 3 dedicated controls — Hue, Stroke and Depth — 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

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

.text-effect {
  font-family: 'Bricolage Grotesque', sans-serif;
  font-weight: 700;
  letter-spacing: 8px;
  text-transform: none;
}

.text-effect {
  color: transparent;
  -webkit-text-stroke: 2.5px hsl(217 90% 66%);
  text-shadow: 1px 1px 0 hsl(217 60% 30%), 2px 2px 0 hsl(217 60% 30%), 3px 3px 0 hsl(217 60% 30%), 4px 4px 0 hsl(217 60% 30%), 5px 5px 0 hsl(217 60% 30%), 6px 6px 0 hsl(217 60% 30%), 7px 7px 0 hsl(217 60% 30%), 8px 8px 0 hsl(217 60% 30%), 9px 9px 0 hsl(217 60% 30%), 10px 10px 0 hsl(217 60% 30%);
}

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