Fics like Fun CSS Text Effects

Various fun CSS effects. Outlined text, shadow, condensed, expanded, blurry, even blurrier, smeared, mirrored, upside down, rainbow, neon, and highlight. Probably more to come! All of these are free to use and you do not need to credit me at all. Have fun formatting your works! <3 Edited on May 31, 2026, to make the examples clearer.
