The image features an abstract arrangement of shapes. A large rectangle is placed diagonally across the composition, featuring a grid of rectangular spaces occupied by women seated at typewriters. Above this, a larger triangular shape hosts a woman sitting on a giant typewriter, with her legs crossed and her hand gesturing towards its keys. The background provides a starry night effect.
