Midori MD Notebook A5 – Grid
Description
The Midori MD Notebook A5 Grid is designed with admirable simplicity — a notebook created purely for the pleasure of writing.
Following Midori’s minimalist philosophy, unnecessary decoration is set aside so that the act of writing remains the focus. Whether used for notes, planning, sketches or ideas, this notebook quietly supports your thoughts without distraction.
At its heart lies Midori’s celebrated MD PAPER, used not only for the pages but also for the cover and endpapers. Known for its silky smooth surface and excellent fountain pen compatibility, the paper allows ink to glide effortlessly while maintaining crisp lines, vibrant colour and pleasant shading.
The notebook is constructed using traditional thread binding, allowing it to open completely flat at 180 degrees. This ensures a comfortable writing experience from the first page to the last, removing the small frustrations that tightly bound notebooks often create.
The cover remains pure and uncoated, highlighting the natural texture of the MD paper. Each notebook arrives wrapped in glassine paper, reminiscent of classic paperback book covers. It protects the notebook from dirt while travelling or stored on a desk, though many users choose to remove it and enjoy the notebook in its simplest form.
A bookmark string runs along the spine, with its colour varying depending on the notebook type, adding a subtle hint of personality. Matching index stickers are included so you can label and organise your notebooks neatly.
The 5mm grid layout, reminiscent of manuscript paper, provides a structured yet unobtrusive guide. It is ideal for note-taking, bullet journalling, sketching or planning, offering order without clutter.
