Inside the image.

A square cover with a muted, chalky grey-and-white surface. Broad horizontal bands divide the image: a dark grey strip across the top, a wide white band through the middle, and another grey strip below. The lower grey band is interrupted by a narrow white area at the bottom edge. The transitions are irregular and softly feathered, as if the pale bands have been rubbed or brushed over the darker ground.

Large, faint outlined shapes fill the upper and lower grey areas. Across the top are three rounded, roughly oval forms, each containing a pale letter-like mark; the central one resembles an O, while the others are indistinct. More outlined forms are partly cut off along the bottom edge. Between these rows, a line of bold, uneven pale lettering runs across the lower grey band, but most of it is obscured by the rough, streaked treatment and cannot be read confidently.

The central white band carries the word “elifant” in large black lowercase serif letters. It sits near the middle of the cover, centred horizontally, with ample white space around it. The lettering is clean and sharply defined against the softer, grainy background. The rest of the design appears graphic and hand-worked, with a powdery texture, mottled marks and vertical smears that give the grey areas a rubbed, distressed appearance. The palette is limited to black, white and several shades of grey, with no discernible depth or lighting beyond the tonal contrast between the bands and text.
