How to draw ░░░░░░░ blank with overlaid text in tikz












0














Wondering how to draw this sort of thing with tikz:



I ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ am a blank space.


...but with text overlaid on the dot grid. Also, instead of the dot-grid being diagonal, I would like to make it simply vertical/horizontal, and make the dots smaller and lighter so when the text goes over it it's not distracting. But it would be along these lines:



I ░Hello░World░░░ am a blank space.


But the "Hello World" would have ░ faded dots behind each letter. Just using this ░ unicode character for demo, this instead would use tikz.
