Poster in black and gray on a cream background. At the top is an illustration of women in a simplified style with gray streaks in front reminiscent of tree bark. At the bottom is a block of lettering in an unusual square, bold style as if the interior spaces were cut out of solid black blocks.

Zoomed detail of the lettering. The text reads:
