A Hypothetical Question on Typography

I got my mitts on this:

Which was basically translated already as you can see in:

Which then puts this cleanly in the realm of the hypothetical. Why reinvent the wheel, after all?

Having said that, what sort of typography would you use, if you were, hypothetically of course, turning this into English? A mockup can be found at:
