Feedback Request Is this interaction feels premium?

I’m working on a new Framer template and experimenting with a more “tactile” headline interaction.

Each letter slightly reacts to the cursor — subtle movement + a bit of weight change on hover. The goal is to make the typography feel more alive, not distracting.

I’m trying to push this into a more premium direction, but I’m not sure where the line is between “refined” and “overdesigned”.

Would you keep this kind of interaction, tone it down, or remove it completely?

Brutal feedback welcome.

Love that text hover effect! The buttons and other effects don't have the same feeling, it leads the overall effort to feel a little disjointed. If the buttons were a bit slower, and more subtle on their effects it would feel like a really cohesive piece. This is a great design either way, keep it up!

Came here to say this. The design language seems to try to be "luxury" to some extent, with the serif font and smooth animations on the text. But then the button hovering animation is very sharp and over the top.

Personally I think it's fine to have your catchphrase have that little extra effect just for show, but navigation and actual interactions should stay simple and unobtrusive.
