A cutout text (or knockout text) is a see-through text that appears cut out on top of a background image:

Note: This example does not work in Internet Explorer or Edge.
How To Create a Cutout Text
Step 1) Add HTML:
Example
<div class="image-container">
<div class="text">NATURE</div>
</div>googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493883843099-0'); );
Step 2) Add CSS:
The mix-blend-mode property makes it possible to add the cutout text to the image. However, it is not supported in IE or Edge:
Example
.image-container
background-image: url("img_nature.jpg");
/* The image used - important! */
background-size: cover;
position: relative; /* Needed to position
the cutout text in the middle of the image */
height: 300px; /* Some
height */
.text
background-color: white;
color: black;
font-size: 10vw;
/* Responsive font size */
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0 auto; /* Center the text container */
padding: 10px;
width: 50%;
text-align: center; /* Center text */
position: absolute; /* Position text */
top: 50%; /* Position text in the middle */
left: 50%; /* Position
text in the middle */
transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* Position text in the middle */
mix-blend-mode: screen;
/* This makes the cutout text possible */

If you want a black container text, change the mix-blend-mode to "multiply" and background-color to black, and color to white:
Example
.text
background-color: black;
color: white;
mix-blend-mode:
multiply;
