Our hardcover journals feature a soft matte finish and are available with either blank pages or your choice of lightly printed rulings. Lined sheets are narrow-ruled with 1/4" (6.4mm) spacing. Reticle grid and square grid sheets have 5mm spacing. The reticle grid resembles a standard dot grid while providing a bit more structure. Our paper is a traditional soft cream color and is FSC certified, lead-free, acid-free, buffered, and made from wood-based pulp.
