Shall we get started?

Step:1 Create HTML Structure

Layout the page using a basic HTML structure.

<div class="container">
    <h1 class="text">Hello World</h1>
</div>

Let's add an img tag for background image

<img id="background" src="https://i.postimg.cc/C1C8VHcK/pietro-de-grandi-T7-K4a-EPo-GGk-unsplash-1.jpg" />

HTML full code

<img id="background" src="https://i.postimg.cc/C1C8VHcK/pietro-de-grandi-T7-K4a-EPo-GGk-unsplash-1.jpg" /> 
<div class="container">
    <h1 class="text">Hello World</h1>
</div>

Step:2 Creating Text Cutout Effect

  padding: 12px;
  background-color: white;
  mix-blend-mode: screen;

mix-blend-mode: screen performs a major role in creating this effect.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@100;200;300;400;500;600;700;800;900&display=swap');
