About Hover Highlight Text

Hover Highlight Text renders a cursor-tracked SVG spotlight that reveals outlined text beneath a filled base layer. Two versions of the text are composited — filled on top, outlined beneath — with a circular spotlight clip that tracks the cursor using Framer Motion spring physics. As the mouse moves across the text, the spotlight uncovers the outlined variant below. A cinematic interaction for hero headlines and section callouts that rewards cursor exploration.
