It was disappointing to discover that there was no Silian Rail font and no accepted RGB or CMYK of bone color. The latex font called Palatino, in my opinion, is the closest matching font to Silian Rail. Since ivory is a bone, I used a ivory background.
The only deviation from the movie prop is my correct spelling of 'Acquisition.' A misspelling I did not notice before my attempt to replicate the card. I think this misspelling was necessary to create the perfect alignment with the company name, which cannot be done simply by shrinking the font or adjusting the letter spacing. It does add an extra symbolic metaphor that gives me a greater appreciation for the movie.
The PDF output was designed for the business card paper I bought on sale. If anyone needs to change the output to Avery's brand paper or any other sizing just leave a comment for help.
