FMP Notebook No.1

Can you imagine writing in a notebook designed exclusively for fountain pens? Now you can experience it.
We all know the feeling—your pen doesn’t glide smoothly on the paper, the ink feathers, changes color, or bleeds through to the other side. Personally, I was never able to find a notebook that fully met my expectations at a reasonable price. So I decided to search for a compromise: to create a paper that would be perfect for fountain pens.

In total, I tested 864 different types of paper, using various pens and inks. After five months of intense work, I narrowed it down to four paper types in different weights. I continued testing until I finally arrived at the one—the perfect paper.

I wanted the notebook to have a functional, minimalist design—something you wouldn’t be embarrassed to bring to a business meeting. The spine is exposed so that the notebook stays open from the very first page without needing to hold it down with your other hand.

The first edition of the notebook comes in a ruled version. I tested all kinds of line spacings—down to 0.1 mm—using nibs from EF to B, and found the optimal spacing for writing with EF, F, M, OM, B, and OB nibs.

It took me eight months of focused work to go from idea to finished product—and now, it’s available for you to purchase. I truly believe this notebook will offer you the same exceptional writing experience it gives me.

The notebook is a sustainable product. It is made from FSC-certified paper, and the cover is also made from natural FSC paper without the use of chemical dyes. The notebook is not wrapped in any plastic packaging and does not include unnecessary inserts or promotional papers that are typically thrown away immediately after purchase.
