Example:

        font-size: 12pt;
        font-weight: bold;
        font-family: 'Arial Black', sans-serif;
        letter-spacing: -0.5pt;
        word-spacing: -2pt;
        text-transform: lowercase;
        text-shadow: 0 0 10px #000;
        text-overflow: ellipsis;

Example:

      font-family: 'Fanciful', fantasy;
      font-size: 20pt;
      font-weight: bold;
      text-transform: uppercase;
      font-variant: small-caps;
