Is this a ceiling or a wall, I used to use square, still occasionally do on ceilings and joint fill.
You do need to fill out a larger area from the joint though to feather it out, to give the illusion it's flat.
But best result with tapered edged unless your plastering it.
I wouldn't do it on the walls though, I'd try to skim them.
