✨ What It Is

Text Stroke allows you to apply an outline effect around the characters in any text element. It highlights and adds visual impact to headlines, buttons, or content sections by giving text a distinct border.


🎛️ Where to Find It

  • Available in widgets like Heading, Text Editor, Button, and others that support typography.

  • Located under the Style tab, within the Typography section, when Text Stroke is enabled.


⚙️ Configuration Options

  1. Enable Stroke

    • A toggle turns the text border on or off.

  2. Stroke Color

    • Choose any color to outline the text—options include solid hues, gradients, or global color styles.

  3. Stroke Width

    • Adjust thickness (in pixels) for a subtle outline or bold graphic effect.

    • Works well in combination with or separately from text shadow.

  4. Stroke Position

    • Determines whether the outline extends outward, inward, or both around the letter shapes.


🎨 Styling Possibilities

  • Combine stroke outlines with typography styles like bold, italic, or uppercase for added emphasis.

  • Pair strokes with text shadows for layered depth and visual interest.

  • Use contrasting stroke and fill colors to make headings pop or create neon-like effects.


✅ Best Practices

  • Use thin strokes (1–3 px) for readability, unless you’re aiming for a bold, graphic statement.

  • High contrast between stroke and fill makes text stand out clearly.

  • Combine stroke with uppercase style and spacing to create standout hero text.

  • Avoid overwhelming body text with stroke—reserve it for headings or key elements.


🛠️ Ideal Applications

  • Hero or banner headlines with bold visual weight.

  • Stylish button labels or navigational links.

  • Logo-type or branded typography elements.

  • Calling attention to offers or promotional messages.
