B**A
Not very fountain pen friendly, but still great.
I bought this as my bullet journal for the beginning of 2021 as I wanted a bit more space than the ususal A5 notepads offer. Not many brands have B5 offerings and I'd previously heard good things about Scribbles that Matter, so I bought this in grey / blue.The book itself feels really satisfyingly chunky, as do the pages. The 160gsm paper is THICC, with many C's. Nothing bleeds through unless theres a horrible accident and your ink explodes from your pen (I know, this happened on my pen test pages, which are a great idea by the way), but with any fountain pen nib bigger than a western fine you get LOTS of feathering.The paper itself feels very uncoated, I think perhaps this is causing it to be super absorbant to the ink and this causing the feathering :( Its a shame, because I LOVE this notebook otherwise.So, TL;DR - 5 stars if you don't use fountain pens. 4 stars if you do, because feathering, but also because its a really nice big notbook.
