The typeface Uncial used on Alpha, Beta, Revised, Arabian Nights, Legends, and Fallen empires packaging, and is one of the two recommended fonts for Retro Core by WOTC. I have always preferred the Uncial font because of its history. I also tried the Belwe font that is used elsewhere on the card and was not happy with how it looked.
The cream came from the description box on early cards.
I think I tried banish and couldn't make it fit... its one of those compromises I had to make.
As far as the other terms go, we always called it Mill because of the Mill stone, Vigilance is short hand for an effect that already existed. I think its fun having Vigilance/capslock be the counterpart to untap/shift.
Equip is the one I would pull if I pull anything.
I really do appreciate the feedback
