The Oregano Notebook Journal comes in a compact 6x9 inch "trade" size, making it highly portable for carrying in a bag or keeping on a bedside table. It features a light grey dot grid with a 5mm pitch, providing a subtle guide for writing or doodling. The matte cover finish is practical for daily use as it resists showing fingerprints, and the 108-page configuration keeps the notebook slim and easy to handle.
Specifications indicate the use of 60lb white offset paper, which is roughly equivalent to 90 to 100 GSM. While this is suitable for graphite and ballpoint pens, users should expect some ink transparency (ghosting) if using fountain pens or heavy alcohol-based markers. The spine uses a stiff adhesive binding rather than a sewn construction, so it will not naturally stay open on its own. For those who enjoy art journaling, using 2B to 4H pencils is a practical way to avoid any ink bleed issues while taking advantage of the accurate dot geometry.
For a notebook that features a Smyth-sewn binding for a better lay-flat experience, you may prefer the Abstract Multicolor A5 Journal.
