Shadow (drop Shadow) Text Overview
Add a soft drop-shadow dot to each character for subtle depth: t˳e˳x˳t˳. It suggests a lower-right cast shadow without images, giving headings a gentle lift.
Add quiet depth without bolding—a tiny low ring ˳ follows every character to suggest a lower-right drop shadow. Short lines pop with subtle relief: shadow → s˳h˳a˳d˳o˳w˳, 2025 → 2˳0˳2˳5˳.
Shadow (Drop Shadow) — low-ring ˳ hint for dimensional lift
This style appends U+02F3 MODIFIER LETTER LOW RING after letters and digits, creating a lightweight “cast shadow” rhythm beneath/after each glyph. It’s best for compact headers, badges, and labels that need presence without heavier weight.
Use for
- Section titles, card headers, and UI status chips.
- Promo slugs, price tags, or feature bullets that need quiet emphasis.
- Short usernames or collection names where depth reads cleaner than bold.
How to shape it
- Keep phrases tight (1–6 words) so the dot cadence stays tidy.
- Pair with normal body text to maintain visual hierarchy.
- Try ALL-CAPS for a signboard feel; mix case for softer tone.
Craft notes
- Letters and digits gain ˳; spaces remain spaces and most punctuation stays unchanged.
- Dot placement can vary slightly by font—preview dense all-caps lockups.
- Use sparingly in paragraphs; the repeating dots can slow scanning.
