How it works
Neon bubble letters are round, fat letters lit like a sign: a pale middle with a colored glow, on a dark board. Type a word and it lights up in Chewy, cyan on night blue. Five round fonts and seven tube colors are on offer.

Three ways to light a letter
Look has three settings. Neon glow fills the letter and rings it with light. Soft glow keeps the letter solid in its color with a haze around it. Hollow draws only the edge, a bent tube with a dark middle.
Tube colors
Under More options, Colours sets the tube. Neon cyan and Neon pink burn almost white in the middle. Hot pink, slime green, flame, gold and purple keep their color through the whole letter. Strength of the look widens or tightens the glow.
- Two short lines read better than one long one. Press Enter between them, as in Game / Room.
- Chewy is the tallest of the five and Titan One the heaviest. Mochiy Pop One keeps the roundest corners.
Questions and answers
How do you draw neon bubble letters by hand?
On black paper, draw the bubble letter in white or a pale gel pen. Go around it with a bright pencil in one color, pressing hard near the letter and softer as you move away, so the color fades into the dark.
Why is the background always dark?
A glow is light, and light shows only against something darker. This page offers night blue and black and no white or see-through background, where the pale tube colors would disappear.
Can I print neon bubble letters?
Yes, as an outline. The dark board would use a great deal of ink, so the page prints the letters as a black outline on white unless you untick Print as an outline (saves ink) under More options.
