Text border using css (border around text)

css, text

Solution

Use multiple text shadows:

text-shadow: 2px 0 #fff, -2px 0 #fff, 0 2px #fff, 0 -2px #fff,
             1px 1px #fff, -1px -1px #fff, 1px -1px #fff, -1px 1px #fff;

body {
  font-family: sans-serif;
  background: #222;
  color: darkred;
}

h1 {
  text-shadow: 2px 0 #fff, -2px 0 #fff, 0 2px #fff, 0 -2px #fff,
               1px 1px #fff, -1px -1px #fff, 1px -1px #fff, -1px 1px #fff;
}

<h1>test</h1>

Alternatively, you could use -webkit-text-stroke, which produces a slightly different result because it modifies the stroke width instead of adding additional shadows around the text. Despite the `webkit` prefix, it works in most browsers (including Firefox) as of 2022:

-webkit-text-stroke: 2px #fff;

body {
  font-family: sans-serif;
  background: #222;
  color: darkred;
}

h1 {
  -webkit-text-stroke: 2px #fff;
}

<h1>test</h1>

Is there a way to integrate a border around text like the image below?
