Since I’ve been an avid Molskine user for years, I’ll be comparing this to a standard Molskine hardback. This is a much better notebook than what I expected. Almost exactly like an Molskine even the font in the book looks the same to me. For writing I’m using a Sakura Pigma Micron 01 0.25mm in black and a Zebra F 0.7mm in Black. Neither pen bleeds to the other page. You will see some transparency on the back of the page you just wrote on depending on how hard you press while you write but from my perspective it’s better than a Molskine page. Ink dries quickly and I haven’t observed any smudging while writing. I’m overall very happy with my experience so far. I would recommend it if you’re on the fence. Test your pages though with proper pens to ensure it doesn’t bleed or just stick with Sakura Pigma pens.
Pros:
Feels like a molskine
Paper is heavy
Ink does NOT bleed through
Nordic Blue is better looking in person
Cons:
They could have included more info in the appendix but it would have also taken up more pages so it’s a trade off.
There isn’t a “subscription” button so I have to remember to order another one.
I don’t think the cover is actually leather.
