Inner text shadow with CSS

Question

I am currently playing around with CSS3 and trying to achieve a text effect like this (the black blurry inner shadow):

Answer 1

Try this example for inset text shadow. Here's the HTML

Inset text shadow trick

and the CSS

body {
    background: #f8f8f8;
}
h1 {
    font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 6em;
    line-height: 1em;
}
.inset-text-shadow {
    /* Shadows are visible under slightly transparent text color */
    color: rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
    text-shadow: 2px 8px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.2), 0px -5px 35px rgba(255,255,255,0.3);

}
