'How to make text be transparent and let the backround be seen only trough letters?

How do I make element visible only inside letters and not around them? I want to position absolutely an element over some text and only make the element visible inside letters.

Is there something like "overflow: hidden" for the text?

Text to set overflow : hidden on

@Edit: Maybe I did not express myself well enough, I want to put some div or image etc. over some text and make it so the div/image, only shows trough letters as if they were holes cut in the foreground element, but I also want to keep text color when there is nothing "covering" it;

css

I don't understand what you want but there is the text-flow, that can help you.: text-flow

Look at this code, can help as well :

   width: 200px;  //define a fixed width 
    white-space: nowrap; //it's like flex-wrap: nowrap, avoid the line breaks
    overflow: auto; //or hidden in your case
