Dense Caption

The image features a solid orange background. Two identical instances of cyan pixelated text read "vieux" on the top line and "IS HOT" directly below it, positioned side-by-side in the upper half. Below this text, along the entire bottom edge, is a horizontal row of cyan flames with jagged peaks and varying heights. The visual style uses low-resolution pixels typical of early digital graphics.
