There's a reason so many fountain pen owners keep coming back to Rhodia. This A5+ notebook pairs the brand's signature 5x5 mm grid with a printed frame around each page, giving your notes a clean, contained edge without a heavy hand or a ruler.
The paper is where this notebook earns its keep. Rhodia's 80gsm acid-free stock is famously smooth and ink-friendly, so fountain pens glide instead of catching, and most inks sit crisp on the surface rather than feathering or bleeding through to the next page. If you've ever been frustrated by cheap paper turning your favourite pen into a scratchy mess, this is the fix.
Each notebook holds 120 pages, all micro-perforated along the edge so you can tear out a page cleanly, whether you're handing someone a note or clearing out old drafts. The staple binding keeps things simple and lies reasonably flat when open, and the cover comes in Rhodia's classic orange or black, both instantly recognisable on a cluttered desk.
The 5x5 grid with frame makes this a genuinely flexible format. It's structured enough for tables, sketches, diagrams and technical notes, but the squares are unobtrusive enough that plain handwriting still looks tidy rather than boxed in. It suits meeting notes, project planning, journaling, or sketching just as well as it suits maths and technical drawing.
