The MD Notebook Diary, Thin and One Day One Page formats in this collection are dated planners. Check the year and format in each product title and product details before ordering.
MD Planners are made with MD PAPER, which is designed to work well with fountain pens and resist feathering and bleed-through. Drying time and show-through can vary depending on the nib, ink and writing style, particularly with broad or wet nibs.
MD Planners use binding designed to open flat, making it easier to write near the center of the page and across a full spread. The exact construction can vary by planner format, so refer to the individual product details for format-specific information.
Not necessarily. A notebook and planner with the same general paper size can differ in thickness and construction. Use only a cover specifically confirmed as compatible with the exact MD Planner format and size.
