A horizontally oriented paper folio features dense, rhythmic rows of black script. Three bold red circles punctuate the composition, positioned centrally and within the side margins. The central text block is framed by thin red vertical bands and accented with touches of red and gold. In the right margin, vertical columns of characters flank one red circle, while horizontal lines of script run along the top and bottom edges.
