The format is compact without being cramped. The black cover is a departure from the classic orange that made Rhodia famous - restrained, matte, and unobtrusive in any setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe paper is the point.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eRhodia uses its own proprietary 90gsm paper, a weight that sits just above the threshold where most inks stop bleeding through. The surface is smooth but not glassy - there is enough tooth to give pencil a clean line while remaining genuinely hospitable to fountain pens, rollerballs, and fineliner nibs. Feathering is minimal. Show-through is minimal. Dry times are faster than most papers in this class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dot grid pattern is set at 5mm intervals, which is generous enough to work across writing scales but close enough to provide a useful visual reference for sketching, planning, or structured notes. The dots are printed in a soft violet-grey that recedes from the page rather than competing with your work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e No. 12 (85 x 120mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top stapled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 perforated sheets (160 pages)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaper weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80gsm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dot grid, 5mm spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft-touch black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerforation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean tear, flush with the cover edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top-stapled binding means pages tear away at the top in a straight, even line - useful when you want to hand something off without presenting the whole pad.

It is equally at home as a dedicated bullet journal insert, a travel companion, or a secondary pad kept open beside a larger sketchbook. The format rewards daily use rather than occasional ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/WEBFLAGS_FRANCE_125px.png?v=1613734598\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rhodia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44741049122951,"sku":"12559C","price":4.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/12559C_1.webp?v=1779932073","url":"https:\/\/thestraywhisker.com.au\/products\/rhodia-no-12-top-stapled-notepad-pocket-dot-grid-in-black","provider":"The Stray Whisker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
