Creating a polished look with CSS through rounded font edges

Can CSS be used to create rounded edges on a font?

I'm looking for an effect similar to the smooth edges in Photoshop

I attempted using an SVG filter, but found it quite complex.

Is there a simpler method?

Here is the code for the SVG filter that was used:

<svg viewbox="0 0 100% 100%">
  <defs>
    <filter id="smooth">
      <feMorphology operator="dilate" radius="0" />
      <feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="3" />
      <feComponentTransfer>
        <feFuncA type="table" tableValues="0 0  1 1"></feFuncA>
      </feComponentTransfer>
      <feComponentTransfer>
        <feFuncA type="table" tableValues="0 0  1 1"></feFuncA>
      </feComponentTransfer>
      <feComponentTransfer out="rounded1">
        <feFuncA type="table" tableValues="0 0  1 1"></feFuncA>
      </feComponentTransfer>
      <feComposite in2="rounded1" in="SourceGraphics" operator="in"/>
    </filter>
  </defs>
</svg>

Answer №1

To achieve a unique effect, consider implementing a goo filter like this. Keep in mind that changing the font and font size may require adjusting the feColorMatrix and stdDeviation values accordingly.

div {
  height: 200px;
  padding:10px 60px;
  font-size:200px;
  font-family:Arial;
  filter:url(#goo);
}

svg{position:absolute;}
<svg width="0" height="0">
  <defs>
    <filter id="goo">
      <feGaussianBlur in="SourceGraphic" stdDeviation="7"  />
      <feColorMatrix  mode="matrix" values="1 0 0  0   0
                                  0 1 0  0   0
                                  0 0 1  0   0
                                  0 0 0 35  -7"  />
      <feBlend in="SourceGraphic"  />
    </filter>
  </defs>
</svg>
<div>
  <span>A B</span>
</div>
