How to Create Gradient Text in CSS

01. The Concept

To create a gradient text effect, you apply a background gradient, clip it to the text, and make the actual text color transparent.

02. Production-Ready Code

background: linear-gradient(to right, #4f46e5, #7c3aed); -webkit-background-clip: text; color: transparent;

💡 Pro Typography Tip

Provide a solid fallback color for older browsers that don't support background-clip.
