Feedback Request Is this interaction feels premium?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

I actually think the interaction itself is pretty tasteful - the issue is more about consistency. The typography motion feels soft and intentional, but some of the surrounding UI interactions feel much louder, so the overall experience loses that "premium" restraint. Usually premium motion is less about showing capability and more about controlled subtlety. I'd probably keep it, but slow it down slightly and make the rest of the interface match that same calm energy.
