The name 'MAY MILTON' is lettered in a single weight of bold grotesque capitals whose stroke thickness matches the weight of the black outlines used on the figure below. The type is stacked in two centered lines with almost no leading, so the word block reads as one dense rectangular mass rather than separate lines.

Palette is limited to four flat colours: cadmium yellow, a warm red, black, and the cream of the paper. The yellow is used only for the figure’s dress and the red only for the hat ribbon and lips, creating two small high-saturation accents against large areas of black and cream.

The composition places the figure in the lower two-thirds, cropped at the knees, so that her head and hat sit exactly on the horizontal centre-line. All typography is pushed into the remaining top third and locked to the same centre axis, producing a single vertical spine that organises the entire sheet.
