Paper Weight
80–90 gsm suits ballpoint and everyday notes. 100–120 gsm handles fountain pens with less show-through. Heavier stock (160+ gsm) suits watercolor washes and mixed media. Check each listing for gsm ratings.
Planner Layouts
Daily layouts suit dense schedules; weekly spreads balance overview and detail; undated journals work if you prefer flexible start dates. Vertical vs. horizontal hourly blocks are a matter of preference — browse our planner category for examples.
Nib & Line Width
Fine (F) nibs suit small handwriting and thin paper; Medium (M) is the everyday standard; Broad (B) and italics reward larger script and heavier stock. Contact our support team for advice on matching pens to paper.
