Outline text (hollow letters)
Letters that are only their outline, with no fill, so the photo shows through. Highlighted words still fill, so one word can stand out. Type your title.

What makes the outline look work
Hollow text is quieter than filled text, so it works as a second line, a label or a background word behind a person. Filling one word (tap it under the title) makes that word the loudest thing on the thumbnail.
Thin outlines vanish at small sizes. Keep the thickness up, and check the small preview on each font.
Tips
- Tall condensed fonts (Anton, Bebas Neue, Oswald) look the most elegant hollow.
- Use the Outline tab for colour and thickness; a second outline gives a double-line look.
- Hollow is a finish, so you can use it with any style: pick Hollow in the Colour tab.
