Ahmad Shadeed with a bonafide CSS trick:

I noticed a CSS property called writing-mode, this was the first time that I know of it. After some research, I learned that its purpose is for vertical language scripts, like Chinese or Japanese. However, the interesting thing is that when using it with English, we can create a vertical text very easily.

Even in English, writing-mode: vertical-lr; help us lay out text vertically without a bunch of positioning, placeholding, and transforms.
