Traveler's Notebook Regular Size Refill "001" lined

The Refill 001 is the classic insert notebook for the Traveler's Notebook Regular – ruled, on white Midori MD Paper, made in Japan. The 6.5 mm line spacing gives your writing structure without constraining it: line by line in a format that fits every Regular cover and can be freely combined with other refills.

Key Features

• MD Paper: The slightly textured, cream-white surface feels soft and controlled under the pen – with minimal resistance that still provides feedback. No show-through, barely any feathering, even with broad nibs and water-based inks.
• 6.5 mm Line Spacing: Generous enough for cursive writing and fountain pens, tight enough for structured notes. Letters with ascenders like "l" or "h" have room at the top without the lines feeling lost.
• Saddle Stitch Binding (Thread Binding): The notebook opens completely flat – no need to hold it open, no margin that eats into the line. Ideal for long, relaxed writing sessions.
• Precision-Cut Format 11 × 21 cm: Narrow and long – fits comfortably in your hand, fits any Regular cover from Traveler's Company and can be connected to other notebooks via the elastic band or Connecting Band (Refill 011).
• 64 Pages, White MD Paper: Clear white that makes ink appear with high contrast – especially with dark or pigmented fountain pen inks.

Use & Tips

• Daily Notes, Meeting Minutes, Diary: The ruling keeps thoughts organized, even when writing quickly on the go.
• For Fountain Pens and Ink Rollers: MD Paper handles water-based inks reliably – no bleeding, no swelling. Broad nibs and flex nibs work just as well as fine M or F nibs.
• Combination with Other Refills: Add a blank Refill 003 alongside the 001 – one side for structure, one for free notes, maps, or sketches.
• Also Works Well with Pencil and Fine Liners: The subtle texture of MD Paper gives pencil strokes grip and provides a soft, pleasant writing feel.
• Ink Properties: MD Paper shows shading and sheen from fountain pen inks moderately – if you want pronounced color effects, write best with high-pigment inks and a broader nib.

For Traveler's Notebook Enthusiasts

The MD Paper of Refill 001 is acid-free – notes and entries won't yellow, ink remains stable long-term. The saddle stitch binding allows the notebook to open completely and write borderless even on the center spread. If you combine multiple refills in the cover, you can use the Connecting Band (Refill 011) to attach up to three notebooks in parallel and create a complete, modular writing system – without the cover becoming thicker or more unwieldy.
