Sixty-four pages of MD Paper marked with 5mm dot grid. Guidance when you need it, invisible when you don't.
Why This Exists
Dot grid occupies the perfect middle ground between structured and free. TRAVELER'S Company created this refill with subtle grey dots spaced at 5mm intervals—present enough to guide your writing, drawing, or layout work, but faint enough to disappear once you're focused on the page. Unlike solid grid lines that dominate the visual field, or ruled lines that dictate horizontal writing, dots simply suggest structure without demanding it.
The 5mm spacing is deliberate: it's the sweet spot for bullet journaling, comic panel layouts, technical sketching, and maintaining neat handwriting. TRAVELER'S Company specifically mentions using dots for magazine-style layouts, graph creation, or even mimicking traditional Japanese writing paper spacing. The dots are printed in light grey that provides guidance without visual noise, and the MD Paper handles fountain pens, markers, and pencils without bleeding or feathering.

Who This Is For
Built for bullet journalers who need structure without rigidity, designers who sketch layouts before committing, writers who want their lines to stay level without the visual weight of ruled paper, and anyone who's discovered that dot grid is secretly the best notebook format. Perfect for people who draw boxes and frames, create magazine-style spreads, or simply want guidance that doesn't fight for attention on the finished page. The dots are there when you need them and gone when you don't—which is exactly how guidance should work.

Note: Dot grid is the format people discover after trying everything else and realising they want structure that adapts to them rather than forcing them to adapt to it. Once you understand how versatile dots are, going back to solid lines or grids feels unnecessarily restrictive.
