So, a bit to touch on for context: I write notes, letters, lists, forms, cards. I collect pens and inks, loose paper and notebooks from all over the world. When I say I am picky about what I call 'good' paper, I mean it. Not that there is anything wrong with okay paper - most products fall squarely in the 'okay' category. This paper, though? It's good. Now I do say 'good' and not GREAT, or HOLY GRAIL, but it is very satisfying. At this price point, I don't think you will find many types of notebook or paper that isn't Korean, Japanese, or Taiwanese that comes CLOSE to this paper. There is a lovely texture to the paper. When you run your hand along as you write, it doesn't feel overly smooth, doesn't hold onto hand oils, and allows for a nice tactile grip so you can take your time with calligraphy or lettering. The thickness of the pages is darn near perfect. I have used oil based inks and water based inks with no problems other papers may have like pooling or soaking. I have used rollerball, fountain pens with various nib types and materials, fudosuke brush pens, and even dip pens on this paper, and all worked perfectly without bleeding through. There is no ghosting if letters when you write on both sides, even with black ink. Now, there are some things I don't prefer. The scent of the paper is a bit acrid to me. I wish there were thicker pads you could buy. If you use an ink with a slow drying time, you do need to be careful with this paper (especially if left handed!!), as the texture can hold moisture a bit longer. Washi tapes do not stick well. Folding (like for mail) can be a hassle as it doesn't fold in a way that is aesthetically pleasing (aka, it folds across writing lines, not directly on the line) which is a small thing for most -- but to me does make this less 'perfect'. All of that said, I will absolutely be keeping this paper around for writing nice notes, letters, and to scrapbook with. I wouldn't write a letter to like... A long lost relative or other super important thing. But I'll definitely give my little old lady neighbor a nice note when we swap garden veg with this paper. Or use it for the letter I give with my holiday gift for the mailman. This paper feels good, even to a snob. That's the best compliment I think you can give 🙂

Thicker than some. Slightly textured. Cream colored. Very nice fountain pen paper and also excellent for any other hand written work.

One of the best price-points for good paper for use with fountain pens. No feathering; there is a bit of see through on the reverse side, so writing on both sides (with fountain pen ink) is not practical.
