A text shadow glow effect built with pure HTML and CSS that enhances typography by applying layered shadow light around characters, creating a glowing appearance while keeping the text itself crisp and readable without relying on JavaScript or external libraries.
Usage
This component is ideal for interfaces where text should visually stand out against dark or complex backgrounds, such as banners, hero titles, status labels, neon style UI elements, or emphasis text that needs strong separation from its surroundings.
Implementation
The glow is produced using multiple CSS text shadow layers with varying blur and opacity, allowing light to radiate outward from the characters while preserving the original font shape and layout structure.

font-size:44px;
