Nombre A5 Notebook in Dark Indigo & Jade | Nouto
Hurry up, only 4 items left in stock.
Quiet design meets serious paper in the Nombre Notebook from Nouto. Each cover pairs two colors that look intentional together, like the deep dark indigo and grounded jade green on this edition. Inside, you'll find numbered pages of Seibundo paper, a Japanese notebook stock that fountain pens glide across with almost no bleeding. The 5mm dotted grid suits journals, planners, and bullet journal setups. The A5 size travels well in a bag and works at a desk.
Notes from The Fox
The Nombre series started as a Makuake crowdfunding project in Japan, built by a long-running bookbinding studio working with people who actually use notebooks daily. The result feels engineered for habit rather than for display, which is exactly what we look for. The two-color cover is the design hook, but the paper is the reason this one stays in rotation.

How to Use
Use it as a daily journal, a planner, or a structured bullet journal. The 5mm dotted grid gives you a soft frame for sketches, ink swatches, lettering, and freeform notes without lines fighting your drawings. The Codex binding lays completely flat, so left-side pages are as easy to write on as right-side ones. Printed page numbers help you build an index as you go. Seibundo paper handles fountain pens, brush pens, and gel pens with very little show-through, and feels cushioned under the nib rather than slick.
FAQ
Will fountain pens bleed through?
Seibundo paper is thin but built specifically for fountain pen ink. Most pens show very little bleeding, though heavy wet writers may leave a faint shadow on the back of the page.
Does it really lay flat?
Yes. The Codex sewn binding opens to a full 180 degrees, so the spine stays open while you write across the page or photograph spreads.
Is the dotted grid sized for bullet journaling?
Yes. The 5mm dot spacing is the bullet journal standard, and it works equally well for grids, lettering practice, and freeform notes.
Are the pages numbered?
Yes. Every page has a printed page number, which makes building an index simple from day one.
What pens work best?
Fountain pens, gel pens, brush pens, and pencils all perform well. Heavy markers may bleed through to the next page.
