Swallow Note Memo Pad, A5 Grid

This practical, elegant memo pad in A5 size (5.8" x 8.3") features 80 sheets of gridded Tsubame Fools Paper, one of the leading fountain pen paper options in Japan. It features an old-fashioned laid finish, visible only faintly unless held up to the light, and a smooth but grippy writing surface that's ideal for fountain pen nibs. The ivory white paper and subtle blue-gray lines are easy on your eyes during long writing sessions. And the ink handling is wonderful, with no feathering or bleeding whatsoever.

Tsubame University Notebooks are also great with pencil, unlike many smooth notebooks. The surface grabs the pencil point just enough for a satisfying experience with graphite, and the smudge resistance is surprisingly good, too. Erasing is easy, and the paper is difficult to damage.

Made in Japan.
