Old font/Contemporary Design

OBJECTIVE:
Explore how an old, conservative, "non-contemporary" typeface might be presented in a contemporary fashion. Choose a short quote to style in a contemporary fashion, but using an older, more traditional typeface.

I used lyrics from one of my favorite bands “mewithoutyou”.
The words read: “She put on happiness like a loose dress over pain I'll never know”.
I used the font LaBrit Regular. It reminded me of the old English type of font. Since the phrase talked about female and a dress I used pink and created a simple dress to hang on the “PP” of happiness. The dress hangs over the “Pain” like the phrase describes.
