If you’re wondering why I type PLOTTER in all caps, it’s because if I can respect the lowercase stylization of folklore (2020) and evermore (2020), I can respect PLOTTER’s capitalization, too.
This isn’t a really thorough review because I am too smitten with this notebook to give it anything but five out of five stars. I ended up setting it up a lot differently than I planned in my first post.
I am going to preface these photos by saying that I am not one of the stationery enthusiasts blessed with good handwriting and artistic ability. I took these photos on my iPhone, so they’re not perfect quality. I subscribe to r/basicbulletjournals, not r/bulletjournal. (There’s nothing wrong with r/bulletjournal. I lurk there frequently. I am just not artistically inclined enough to design those spreads, so I benefit more from seeing the basic layouts. Bullet journalers of the world, I admire you.)
Everything in this notebook is written with a Pilot Vanishing Point (fine nib) inked with Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun, which is in the pen holder insert, if you’re curious.
BINDER QUALITY: 5/5
The leather and the rings feel sturdy. This was expensive, but it feels like it will last a long time.
PAPER QUALITY: 5/5
I tried a bunch of different fountain pens and nib widths on this paper (not pictured), and nothing bled through. The ghosting is minimal. I didn’t have trouble with hand oils making
ACCESSORY QUALITY: 5/5
I like the project planner inserts most. I’m using three right now: one for work, one for my school practicum, and one for therapy. I like to doodle during therapy and frequently make notes throughout the week to bring back to my therapist for our next session.
The ruler insert has a variety of different units available (including angles), which impresses me.
The pen insert has cursive writing samples if you want to practice or trace those. The pen holder easily fits a Pilot Vanishing Point, which is not a small pen.
ORIGINALITY: 5/5
I’ve never seen a system like this. I’ve been sending my friend videos of me flipping through my PLOTTER every time I add or adjust a function. I love it.
OVERALL RATING: 5/5
I am definitely going to get a PLOTTER Mini 5 to use as a wallet and everyday pocket carry with my Traveler’s brass fountain pen.
