Pixel / 8-bit
Retro & Themed · Animated · pure CSS
Silkscreen's true bitmap glyphs get a hard, zero-blur offset shadow stacked in two darker tones for a chunky NES-title-screen slab — no blur anywhere, just clean pixel-grid steps. Four arcade palette-swaps (NES gray/red, Game Boy green, arcade cyan/magenta, insert-coin gold) plus an optional stepped blink dial in the retro-console feel.
How it works
Pixel / 8-bit is an animated retro & themed text effect rendered entirely in CSS. It works on a single element — just add the .text-effect class, with no extra HTML.
Controls
Pixel / 8-bit exposes 3 dedicated controls — Palette, Depth and Blink — 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.
