That’s such a great way to describe it! It’s totally amazing how it feels and flops.

It would definitely be better in 5mm I think just for lettering and my normal handwriting. But I’ll take it anyway I get can get it. 😝

It really is! It feels so good in the hand! The leather and the TRP!

Oh I bet it’s stunning with the gold edges. I actually thought about using one of these for song lyrics. I’m always wanting to transcribe ones that mean a lot to me or have a memory attached to it and make a journal of it / just never got around too it. But maybe one day soon!

Would love to know more about how you do this! I write down any lyrics I love to a song I love... But I'm curious how you transcribe them and journal about them. Would love to hear your thoughts!

@@Chaos_and_Creativity because the B5 page size is nice and big, I transcribe the lyrics on the left side of the page (in fun colors) and then journal about it in black on the right side of the page

@@Chaos_and_Creativity I’m sure Katie will share how she does it. But I have a plan for my journal on it and once I get started I’ll share too.

Oh it’s so big to lug around but there’s something so satisfying about a B5 especially in the Tomoe River paper! The feeling is just amazing in the hand and it lays so nice and flat and just has this glorious heft about it! 10/10 recommend 😝

Totally agree! I have a lot of different composition and B5 notebooks but the feel of these is amazing. I’ve got another TRP B5 but it doesn’t have the weight/flop of these so it’s not as satisfying 😝

Yes the B5 Stalogy is 5mm. The SI is 3.7x3.5mm. I like the Stalogy for lettering practice since it’s larger but for journaling and commonplacing the SI is very nice!

😝 the Stalogy I use for hand lettering/font style practice. But for these I’m going to probably create a unique journal. I think one with doodles and journaling. I do wish it was a larger grid just bc I find it comfortable to write in a larger grid in this size but I’ll make do bc it’s so yummy!

​@@JustScribbledo you follow any type of hand lettering pages, or do you just write and doodle in order to practice? I really want to learn how to better control my handwriting and cursive and calligraphy - just all of it! This would be the perfect size to do so 😍

@@Chaos_and_Creativity I have some books from Cindy Guentert-Baldo which I love. That’s my main source and just practicing.

I love a composition book. Something so classic about it and the pages feel so nice especially if you write with ballpoint and get that indention in the page 🥰 the lilac sounds beautiful!

Oh really? Hmm 🤔 I don’t know why unless it’s something with my mic 🎤?

Oh that’s a hard choice. I’m thinking of using different fountain pens and inks in one to create a unique journal.

@@JustScribble Cool. Would be nice to see what you choose.

@@RG-yf3uj I will share!

@@JustScribble Awesome 🙂 Always curious...

A B6 is similar in size to a composition notebook. Or a classic happy planner. B5 notebooks are roughly 7” x 10” Practicing hand lettering and lettering styles and journaling predominantly.

Hi John! It’s not identical but very similar. A composition is 7.5x9.75 whereas a B5 is 6.9x9.8. As long as height wise you’ve got a little extra room in your composition the SI B5 notebooks should fit. These would be so nice in your cork cover!!

@@JustScribblethank you for answering this question! I have a perfect leather folio at home that has a composition book in it. Fingers crossed my SI 2025 Common Planner fits!!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
