Six depth languages
Move between hard stacks, RGB separation, outlined contours, echoes, neon light, and diagonal extrusion.
Type & dimension
Layered Text Shadow
Build spatial type from a small bounded stack of deliberate copies. Shift from hard extrusion to chromatic drift, fine outline, fading echo, soft neon, or graphic depth.
Layered text shadow / bounded depth
DEPTH / 01
Depth without noise
Layered type should strengthen the silhouette.
Offset copies can create dimension and motion while keeping the primary face crisp. Use a bounded layer count and test the result at the smallest intended size.
Bounded rendering
The studio produces at most eight layers and compact cards stop at four.
Shared geometry
Preview and export use the same precomputed offsets, opacity falloff, blur, and text-fit formulas.
Three-step workflow
How to use the Text Shadow studio
- Set the main silhouette
Choose a short display phrase and a face that remains legible without the effect.
- Direct the offset
Use horizontal and vertical steps to establish a consistent sense of light and depth.
- Audit the smallest size
Check that layers do not merge into noise before exporting.
Questions, answered.
Does it use canvas or WebGL?
No. Every layer is ordinary bounded HTML and CSS.
What is the maximum depth?
Eight layers in the studio and export, with four in compact catalog previews.
Is duplicated text announced repeatedly?
No. Decorative layers are hidden while the root provides one accessible label.
What happens with reduced motion?
The full layered composition remains still and readable.
