Outline echo effect

Outline echo places expanding outlined copies behind a solid word. The repeated contours spread outward while the filled text remains the visual anchor, adding depth without replacing the headline. In the library preview, this creates a ripple around the word. Try it with a short title and a clear contrast between text and background so the overlapping outlines stay distinct as they expand.
