Two bold letterforms, drawn freehand in an urgent cadmium red, fill the picture plane with a cheerful directness that sidesteps any pretension. Steve Garrett's thick, rounded strokes carry the slight tremor of a finger or stylus moving quickly, giving each curve and crossbar a warmth that mechanical lettering could never achieve. The stark white ground amplifies the chromatic weight, turning a simple greeting into something quietly insistent.
