Engineered for the nib.
For the discerning writer who values what happens between nib and paper.
100% Cotton Fibre
No bleed-through.
Write on both sides with confidence.
Cotton's longer fibre structure creates a tighter matrix that reduces lateral ink spread — meaning cleaner lines and less feathering, natural shading gradients, and a reverse side you can actually use.
oDNA™ Verification
Scan. Verify.
Authenticate instantly.
Every notebook pastedown has a unique QR code we call oDNA™. Scan it using the Seba Wati iOS app to authenticate your notebook and unlock a digital replica.
Egyptian Cotton Hardcover
Bound in extra-long staple Egyptian cotton.
The same fibre prized in fine textiles wraps the cover — a tight, smooth weave that softens with handling and ages without fraying.
Design
Designed around the page.
Every element is considered — from the cotton cover to the hand-stitched spine.
The A5. Perfectly portable.
At 148 × 210 mm, it fits in your bag, on your desk, and in your life. Light enough to carry everywhere, substantial enough to write seriously.

Materials
Cotton. The fibre that writes.
Ink Shading
Cotton absorbs ink uniformly, producing rich shading gradients that bring out the character of each ink. Shimmer inks perform beautifully on this surface.
No Feathering
A tight cotton fibre matrix prevents ink from spreading beyond the nib line. Fine nibs stay fine. Broad nibs stay defined.
Double-Sided
Write on both sides with zero bleed-through. At 110 GSM, every one of the 140 pages is fully usable — front and back.
Fountain Pen Friendly
Optimised for fountain pens with wet nibs. Faster drying times with most fountain pen inks, and the smoothness under the nib is unmistakable.
