The image features a black and white illustration with a playful and somewhat edgy theme. The central text reads "DEATH BEFORE DECAF" in a stylized, cursive font. The word "DEATH" is larger and more prominent than the other words, drawing attention to it. Below the text, there is a small, simple line drawing of a skull and crossbones, a classic symbol often associated with danger or piracy. The overall design has a hand-drawn feel, with the text and skull drawing appearing to be hand-lettered. The image could be interpreted as a humorous or ironic statement, possibly related to coffee preferences or a warning about the consequences of decaffeinated coffee.
