Western Wood
Retro & Themed · Static · pure CSS
A vertical light-to-dark wood ramp with fine grain lines clipped to the glyphs, plus a carved edge — a saloon-sign plank.
How it works
Western Wood is a static 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
Western Wood exposes 2 dedicated controls — Wood Tone and Grain — 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
/* Western Wood — generated with TEXT-FX
