Moleskine Classic Large Notebook Hard Cover Dotted

The Moleskine Classic Large Dotted is the A5-equivalent hardcover notebook in the iconic leather-grained black format — 240 numbered pages of 70 g/m² acid-free ivory paper with a discrete 5 mm dot grid. The dotted layout balances structured alignment for wireframes, text columns, and chart work with enough visual neutrality to disappear during freehand sketching and illustration. The rigid leather-grained hardcover opens completely flat at 180°, doubling as a self-supporting writing surface without a desk.

A practical daily notebook for bullet journaling, professional planning, and design work — compact enough for briefcases and bags, sturdy enough for sustained daily carry. Elastic closure band, fabric ribbon bookmark, and expandable rear pocket included. 240 numbered pages give a long usable cycle before the volume needs replacing.

Common Questions

• Is the 70 g/m² paper suitable for fountain pen use? The paper is optimized for ballpoint pens, fineliners, and pencils — light fountain pen use with fast-drying inks generally performs acceptably, but heavy fountain pen ink loads or wet flex nib writing may show minor ghosting or bleed-through on the reverse side.
• How does the Moleskine Classic differ from the Leuchtturm1917 A5 Hardcover in the same format? The key practical differences are page count — 240 versus 251 pages — and paper weight. Leuchtturm1917 uses 80 g/m² paper versus Moleskine's 70 g/m², giving Leuchtturm slightly better ink-proof performance. Moleskine's expandable rear pocket is larger and more structured for document storage. Both open flat at 180° with thread-bound hardcover construction.
