Crossed Out (X) Text Overview
Design Crossed Out (X) Font using special characters for emphasis and visual weight. Perfect for Instagram headlines, Twitter announcements, and LinkedIn key points. Creates impactful text maintaining text accessibility.
Cross words out with an X, not a line—a tiny overlay ͯ lands on every character so letters look decisively cancelled while staying readable. Examples: crossed → cͯrͯoͯsͯsͯeͯdͯ, backspace → bͯaͯcͯkͯsͯpͯaͯcͯeͯ, 2025 → 2ͯ0ͯ2ͯ5ͯ.
Crossed-Out X — compact ͯ overlay on every letter and digit
This style places the small x mark ͯ after each glyph, creating a clean “canceled” signal without a horizontal strike. It’s particularly effective on short tags and headings where a hard stop is the point.
Use for
- Deprecated items, retired features, and price comparisons.
- Playful corrections in captions where the cross is part of the joke.
- Badges and label chips that need a strong “not this” cue.
How to apply
- Enter a brief phrase (1–6 words).
- Generate the crossed-out-x version and copy the result.
- Keep surrounding text normal so the X beat reads clearly.
Craft notes
- All letters and digits receive ͯ; spaces remain open for natural word breaks.
- On tight fonts, the overlay may touch ascenders/descenders—preview dense ALL-CAPS lockups.
- Best in short bursts; long X-laden paragraphs can fatigue readers.
