Review on Premium Lined Notebook Insert Refills - Compatible With MOONSTER® Leather Journals - 320 Ruled Pages Of 70Gsm A5 Paper, 8.25 X 5.75 Inches With Bookmark Included by Victor Ewing

I bought this as a refill for a refillable leather journal from the same brand. It took a bit of time to get used to the lined pages after writing on unlined pages for a long time, especially since it seems to be similar to a college/narrow rule. The paper is clearly hand made and has a unique texture to it, which handles pencil well, but for me as a lefty, ink smeared on it too easily, and is somewhere between a smooth texture like some journals, and textured paper as might be found in sketch pads. The color of the paper is more of a natural cotton or linen color and not bright white, so while fairly easy on the eyes, it's not quite as gentle as creamy-colored paper. The paper sometimes has interesting inclusions as would be expected from recycled cotton and other fibers, though they don't cause any issues, but the paper is sometimes surprisingly smooth or even slick. The number of pages is about the limit of what fits in my leather journal as well as what can be comfortably opened and written in. The inclusion of a ribbon page marker is an added bonus, though.
