This black and white composition uses two different lettering styles to present a motivational message. The eye begins at the top with six lines of thin, capital letters. These sans-serif characters are uniform in height and thickness, creating a dense block of text on the left side of the white background. Below this section, a smaller amount of text appears in a flowing, lowercase script. This bottom portion consists of two lines that contrast with the rigid, straight lines above it.

The arrangement emphasizes the relationship between the two parts of the phrase. While the top lines use sharp angles and consistent spacing to state that good things take time, the bottom cursive text appears more fluid and hand-drawn. This visual shift supports the artist's idea that specific words can influence a person's thoughts and future actions. The stark contrast between the black ink and the plain white field ensures the focus remains entirely on the letterforms and their meaning.
