Retro Wave Chrome Text Effect

The effect gets the hyper-gloss of 1980s chrome typography — all neon fades, beveled edges, and VHS-era drama. The smooth metallic gradients and glow create the illusion of dimension on a flat screen, echoing arcade marquees, synthwave album covers, and midnight TV graphics.

Use it for poster headlines, video game titles, music branding, streaming overlays, retro event flyers, merch drops, or typographic social content. The two included colorways — sunset red-orange and night-drive violet — are ready to swap in instantly via Smart Objects.

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
