Each heart contains vertically stacked black block-letter text: top line reads 'IY', second line 'My', third line 'Besties', fourth line '4', fifth line 'Ever'. Text is centered within each heart. All hearts have the same size and position relative to their grid layout. Pixelation creates a low-resolution, retro digital appearance.
