A simple notebook that is optimized to make writing easy.

The “note” in “notebook” also means “to notice”.

Writing, diagrams and pictures are all ways that people immortalize the things they notice during their day-to-day life. And since a notebook is a common place for those observations, we wanted to make sure that our notebook would be kept close at hand.

The MD Notebook is designed for simplicity so that what’s on your mind can be put on paper easily.

The MD Notebook has no cover.

Why? Because it is important to us that you can see the pleasing texture of the materials as soon as you pick it up, and imagine how comfortable writing will be. No bells and whistles; just the pleasure of writing.

And of course ease of writing is important too.
Behind this no-frills design are a multitude of optimizations.

Threaded binding is used for MD Notebook, with 16-page quires bound at the back with thread.

Threaded binding makes the pages both robust and easy to open. Usually used for items such as notebooks and journals that will be used for a long time, this binding’s ability to open to a full 180 degrees provides the ultimate comfort when writing, making writing a stress-free experience from start to finish

The MD Notebook comes in three designs: blank, lines and grid.

The grid type has 5mm squares with gaps in between, like the old genko yoshi used for writing in Japan. Every 5 and 10 squares are marked, making it easy to count how many characters are written, and the lines of the grid are pale blue so that they will not interfere with your writing or sketches.

A5 dimensions: 8.3"H x 5.8"W (Medium)
