Step1.

Add HTML

Create a div element and add some text:

<div class="seaside">SEASIDE</div>

Step2.

Add CSS

Import the font (source: https://fonts.google.com/):

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Archivo+Black&display=swap');

Set the colour and the position of the background and elements:

body {
  display: flex;
  height: 100vh;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

Add the background image and style the text:

.seaside {
  position: relative;
  background-image: url('https://lenadesign.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/brighton-2-1024x267.jpg');
  background-position: center bottom;
  width:100%;
  height: auto;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  font-size: 150px;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-family: 'Archivo Black', sans-serif;
  -webkit-background-clip: text;
  -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;  
}

Add the CSS @media rule to display the effect properly on smaller screens:

@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  .seaside {
    font-size: 80px;
    background-position: center 75%;
  }
}

Enjoy coding!
