The lines are evenly spaced from the edges. There are two red circles, one on the left and one on the right. The circles are positioned on the red lines. The text is written in black ink and appears to be in a non-Latin script. The text is arranged in paragraphs. The paragraphs are left-aligned. The background behind the paper is beige.
