The type and font provide a stark difference between fore and ground. These choices, however,  go beyond the layers which are visible to the eye.​

The photo is iconic and the dichotomy brilliant. The smooth and dangling earring is separated  from the silky, flowing robe, by a dainty lattice collar. While a glove is often feminine and formal, the mesh texture, showing a peep of skin within, is nothing but fierce. The red smirk brings the bright hue of the earring inward, with the raised eyebrow and slicked back pony topping off the statement.

The texture of RBG's robe, Century Old Style Standard, is a nod to The Rules of the Supreme Court of the United States. ​ The font size, while small in stature, holds its ground. The tight kerning provides a bold face, yet it's the content that fills the space. Supported by the formality of serifs, a softened and modern angle gives an approachable demeanor proving that it not only belongs, it commands.
