Rhodia Rhodiarama SoftCover Notebook - 80 Lined Sheets - Anise

Our review of the Rhodia Rhodiarama SoftCover Notebook finds it best for writers, journalers and anyone who values premium paper for everyday use; the single biggest reason to buy is the French milled 90g ivory paper that resists bleed and feathering and feels silky under a pen. The softcover format combines a flexible Italian faux leather cover with practical touches like an inner pocket, ribbon marker and elastic closure, making it a refined, portable option for note taking, bullet journaling or meeting notes.

Key Features

• Premium paper: 90g French milled ivory sheets provide a smooth surface that minimizes bleed-through and feathering for fountain pens and gel inks.
• Sturdy softcover: Italian faux leather softcover gives a sleek, tactile feel while remaining flexible enough for pocketable use.
• Secure construction: Glued spine and rounded corners help the notebook hold together cleanly and resist edge wear during daily handling.
• Organizational extras: Built-in inner pocket, ribbon page marker and elastic closure keep loose papers safe and make the notebook easy to use on the go.
• Generous page count: 80 lined sheets (160 pages) in this 9 3/4 x 7 1/2 in format gives a long writing life before replacing the notebook.

Who It's For

The Rhodiarama SoftCover is ideal for fountain pen users, calligraphers and heavy ink writers who need paper that prevents bleed and ghosting; the smooth 90g sheets were repeatedly praised for their writing feel and performance. It is also well suited to bullet journalers and students who want a stylish, colorful softcover that stays compact yet functional.

Those who prefer a hardcover for maximum rigidity or who require perforated pages or removable sheets should look elsewhere, since this design emphasizes a glued spine and a softcover finish rather than tear-out convenience or rigid board support.
