Antereique is a Japanese brand that makes retro inspired ballpoint pens.
They had a booth at Bungo Joshi and I picked up this interesting notebook.
The scribble notebook is a handheld ringbound notepad.
The front of the notebook is protected by a plastic sheet and the pages are cut so that it fits a mini pen.
The notebook measures 128 by 91mm and the paper is 5mm grid.
I like the compact size of the notebook, it's definitely one I can throw in my bag and not worry about the weight.
The notebook is secured with a rubber band, and the front is protected by a plastic sheet.
These sound like good additions until you realise it's to keep the pen in it's holding spot and secure it when not in use.
The pen itself is a pretty standard ballpoint pen, nice to hold and a cute retro design, which Anterique is know for.
Speaking of the holding spot for the pen.
It's quite interesting that it's carved into the notepaper.
This does mean you have less usable writing space, but you might never lose your pen, that is, if you always return it to the same spot.
I think this notebook is a cute concept, I'll definitely use it for awhile and see how that feels.
