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.

Western Wood

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
 * 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: 4px;
  text-transform: none;
}

.text-effect {
  background: repeating-linear-gradient(88deg, transparent 0 7px, hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.14) 7px 8px), linear-gradient(180deg, hsl(35 48% 56%) 0%, hsl(35 52% 40%) 45%, hsl(35 58% 26%) 72%, hsl(35 52% 40%) 100%);
  -webkit-background-clip: text;
  background-clip: text;
  -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
  color: transparent;
  -webkit-text-stroke: 0.5px hsl(35 60% 16%);
  filter: drop-shadow(0 3px 2px hsl(35 50% 6% / 0.45));
}

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