Lettering
Check the weight don't guess it
Lettering note
The phrase "Check the weight" is painted in black india ink, positioned to suggest it is being spoken by the hook, which has a shape like a human face. The phrase "don't guess it" is in white, apparently as a result of being painted on the negative in reverse
