The Problem

Text with a background color when wrapped loses left/right padding.
(padding exaggerated for demo)

The Solve

Use display:inline & box-shadow parameters for left & right side of element. Blur & Y set to 0 of course. This creates a nice even wrapping headline with an overlay or tape effect. Great for impactful headlines or text you want to pop or highlight. Especially when dealing with dynamic text with no word-count limit, Responsive typography and fluid layouts.
