Essential Tips for Glass Text Effects
Master these key techniques to create convincing glass typography:
• Use multiple layer styles combined - apply inner glow, bevel and emboss, and drop shadow for realistic depth and transparency
• Choose bold, thick fonts that showcase the glass effect better than thin typefaces
• Add subtle gradients from light to dark tones to simulate light passing through glass
• Include highlights and reflections on edges to mimic how real glass catches and bends light
• Experiment with opacity levels between 70-90% to maintain readability while achieving the translucent look
