The text is rendered in a pixelated style consistent with early digital graphics. The background consists of varying shades of blue pixels forming a grid pattern. The text is positioned in the center of each section, with the word 'freaks' having a lowercase 'f' and 'i' having a lowercase 'i'. The phrase 'love 'em' uses an apostrophe before 'em'.
