Glass Text Effect
Tinted, see-through letters with a bright rim, a glossy top and a reflection that drifts across as they tilt. The tint is a translucent accent, and they cast a soft colored shadow.
Also known as: glassmorphism text, transparent glass letters css, frosted glass text.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--txt-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Font size: set
--txt-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing40px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
