Adding to their considerable repertoire of high-quality spiral notebooks and memo pads, Baltimore-based Write Notepads has launched a new series of classic “Engineer” Spiral Notebooks and Memo Pads. Both products feature a unique smooth, uncoated 70# graph paper with a non-repro 1/4” blue square grid. The layout is intended for engineers, designers, and those who simply enjoy versatile graph paper. Personally, I’ve been using this notebook as my landscape/garden planner for 2021, and am looking forward to being able to carry this durable oilboard cover into the backyard without jeopardizing its ability to last for an entire season.
The notebook is currently labeled a “limited edition,” so I’m not sure how long these will be around. I have both in stock in the Curated Shop. “Together We Build” Engineer Notebooks are priced at $16 and a set of two Engineer Memo Pads at $18. Looking for the perfect pen to pair with engineer paper? Check out the CW&T Pen Type-A or Pen Type-B, or the new pocket-size Penco drafting ballpoint pens and pencils!
A note on the paper: Write Notepads did not design this notebook with the fountain pen enthusiast in mind, and they expressly state as much in their promotional materials. That said, I’ve found descriptions of this paper as “not fountain pen friendly” to be a bit overblown. I’ve been able to use extra-fine and fine fountain pens without issue, and even medium nibs showed only slight feathering, with barely any bleed-through.
The Gentleman Stationer is an authorized retailer of all Write Notepads products sold in the T.G.S. Curated Shop.
