How Does CSS Gradient Text Work?
Unlike standard text colors that are limited to a single flat HEX value, CSS gradient text is achieved by applying a CSS linear gradient as the element's background and clipping it strictly to the glyph contours of the letters using -webkit-background-clip: text. Setting -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent allows the multi-color background gradient to shine through with full vector sharpness.
