To apply a white stroke around text with a transparent fill using the 'letterpress' style in the current Webflow UI, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the text element: Start by selecting the text element that you want to apply the style to. You can do this by clicking on the text element in the Designer panel or by selecting it in the Navigator panel.

  2. Open the Text Properties panel: Once the text element is selected, the Text Properties panel will appear on the right side of the Webflow interface. This panel allows you to customize various aspects of the text, including its appearance.

  3. Adjust the text styles: In the Text Properties panel, you'll find multiple options to modify the text's appearance. Look for the "Stroke" section, which controls the stroke around the text. Click on the color swatch next to the "Stroke" label to open the color picker.

  4. Choose white as the stroke color: In the color picker, select white as the stroke color. This will apply a white stroke around the text.

  5. Adjust the stroke size: Next to the color swatch, you'll find a number input that allows you to adjust the stroke size. Increase or decrease the value to set the desired thickness for the stroke.

  6. Apply a transparent fill: By default, the text will have a solid fill color. To make it transparent, you can use the "Background Color" section in the Text Properties panel. Click on the color swatch next to the "Background Color" label to open the color picker, then select the transparent option.

  7. Fine-tune the text styling: You can further refine the letterpress effect by adjusting other text properties such as font size, font weight, and font style. Experiment with different options to achieve the desired result.

  8. Preview and publish: Once you are satisfied with the letterpress style, you can preview the changes by using the Preview button in the top right corner of the Webflow interface. If everything looks good, you can publish your website for it to be live on the web.

By following these steps, you can easily apply a white stroke around text with a transparent fill using the 'letterpress' style in Webflow. This technique can help you create visually appealing typography that stands out on your website.
