Below are some examples of creating text effects using CSS. These effects can be applied to headings, paragraphs, or any text element on your webpage.
1. Text Shadow Effect
This effect creates a shadow behind the text, giving it a slight 3D appearance.

}
.typewriter h1 {
overflow: hidden; /* Ensures the text is not revealed until the animation */
border-right: 4px solid #fff; /* The cursor effect */
white-space: nowrap; /* Keeps text in a single line */
margin: 0 auto; /* Gives the text a centered appearance */
letter-spacing: 0.15em; /* Adds spacing between letters */
animation: typing 4s steps(30, end), blink-caret 0.75s step-end infinite;
}
@keyframes typing {
from { width: 0; }
to { width: 100%; }

<body>
<div class="typewriter">
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>

@keyframes fadeIn {
to { opacity: 1; }
}
</style>
