The name is set in an extreme condensed sans, all caps, at a size that spans nearly the full width of the sheet. The single word 'Yvette' is allowed to sit larger than 'Guilbert,' breaking the usual all-caps uniformity to create a secondary focal point inside the title block itself.

Flat yellow ground with the figure rendered in black line and two flat reds (dress and lips). The palette is restricted to four inks total, with the yellow used as both background and negative space around the black type.
