MD Notebook - A6 Grid

A simple notebook that is optimised to make writing easy. The MD Notebook is designed for simplicity and comfort so that what’s on your mind can be put on paper easily. With the 15th-anniversary redesign, writing is even more of a pleasure than before.

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.

Write what you like on the cover. Now you can make every inch of your MD Notebook your own.

The cover of the MD Notebook is different from standard notebooks. Where standard notebooks have endpaper under the cover, the MD Notebook’s endpaper is the cover. This is because the additional paper or cover on a standard notebook makes the notebook more difficult to open, or causes wobbling, which interferes with your writing comfort.

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 optimisations. 

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.

MD has added a playful touch to the minimalist design of the MD Notebook. Another iconic feature of the MD Notebook is the string attached to the spine. Each type of notebook now has its own colour of string adding a tasteful accent that can be glimpsed through the white spine and between the pages.

It also comes with index tabs that coordinate perfectly with the coverless design and exposed cheesecloth spine. Some are printed with frequently used items such as “IDEA” or “DIARY”, while others are left blank so that you can add your own headings. They can also be stuck to the top to hold the string in place.
