Ace in the hole...

The strong diagonals created by the woman leaning on the bridge table are continued in the italicized text of the title. The bilateral type system is employed, and aids in balancing these strong diagonals.

The chosen type face echos the bygone era of the woman's dress, as well as the pass time of card playing. The airy quality of the letter spacing and heavy leading enhance the sense of depth in the image.
