The cover has an interesting tactile feel to it, kind of rubbery. Reminds me a little of the earlier Rhodia Webnotebook cover, but different. I know, that doesn’t help much. Let’s just say that it’s markedly different from the black Moleskine cover material.

I’m not quite what to make of the binding, it didn’t want to lie flat easily like the Moleskine or Rhodia. I used only a single pen and ink combo on it today: Pelikan M800 w/ Fine nib and Montblanc British Racing Green ink. I did see some minor feathering, not enough to really bother me though, and the MB ink is rather free-flowing compared to some.
