Wicker Weave

How it works

Wicker Weave is a static fill & texture text effect rendered entirely in CSS. A data-text attribute mirrors the word into ::before/::after layers, so copy that attribute together with the CSS.

Controls

Wicker Weave exposes 3 dedicated controls — Weave Pitch, Cane Warmth and Shadow 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
