What is printed on it

The graphic centers on an upright typographic composition that places the message front and center. At the top, the phrase “I MAY BE” leads into a large, weathered slab-serif rendering of “RETIRED” that brings a vintage collegiate look to the print. Below that, “BUT I’M ALWAYS AN” rests inside a solid rectangular banner that breaks up the layout cleanly. The lower half anchors the entire graphic with tall, compressed lettering spelling “ICU REGISTERED” right above an oversized, solid “NURSE”. Every letter is arranged in balanced horizontal tiers, giving this medical specialty design a bold and unmistakable visual structure.
