[bczm8703]

I can't seems to implement the text "Sample" design in the attached image. mainly I cant get the text to have different border color

CSS I used

   transform: rotate(-15deg);
    border-width: 1px;
    font-family: Inter;
    font-weight: 600;
    font-size: 100px;
    line-height: 150%;  
    text-align: center;
    color: #F2F3F5;

would like to check also how to draw the circle at the corner of the 2 divs?

Hey there,

To give the text a border you can use the -webkit-text-stroke property which seems to be quite widely available, or if you want more browser compatibility, you could also use a text shadow.

span {
  /* text border using -webkit-text-shadow */
  -webkit-text-stroke: 1px solid black;

  /* 1px text border with text shadow (top, right, bottom, left) */
  text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 black, 1px 0 black, 0 1px black, -1px 0 black;
  /* or (top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left) */
  text-shadow: -1px -1px 0 black, 1px -1px black, 1px 1px black, -1px 1 black;

  /* smooth 2px text border with text shadow (from https://stackoverflow.com/a/8712442) */
  text-shadow: 1px 1px 0 #000,
    -1px 1px 0 #000,
    1px -1px 0 #000,
    -1px -1px 0 #000,
    0px 1px 0 #000,
    0px -1px 0 #000,
    -1px 0px 0 #000,
    1px 0px 0 #000,
    2px 2px 0 #000,
    -2px 2px 0 #000,
    2px -2px 0 #000,
    -2px -2px 0 #000,
    0px 2px 0 #000,
    0px -2px 0 #000,
    -2px 0px 0 #000,
    2px 0px 0 #000,
    1px 2px 0 #000,
    -1px 2px 0 #000,
    1px -2px 0 #000,
    -1px -2px 0 #000,
    2px 1px 0 #000,
    -2px 1px 0 #000,
    2px -1px 0 #000,
    -2px -1px 0 #000;
}

The circle patterns in the corners of the 2 divs can be achieved using a background image, and then positioning it appropriately with background-position.

You may need to use paint-order with -webkit-text-stroke to get the correct look.

paint-order - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN

The paint-order CSS property lets you control the order in which the fill and stroke (and painting markers) of text content and shapes are drawn.
