Yamamoto's COSMO NOTE notebook is the perfect backdrop for your creative expressions. The cover is a sleek, unadorned grey card stock that combines flexibility with the sturdiness needed for on-the-go writing. It's an ideal canvas for personalisation with your favourite stickers, washi tape, or original artwork. The notebook's spine boasts a fabric tape binding with the brand subtly stamped, giving it a refined look. COSMO NOTE has plain pages, and come with 6 mm squared /12 mm lined guide sheet.
Why 83gsm?
After much discussion of what GSM is the best for COSMO NOTE, and which paper thickness will suit notebook users all over the world, Yamamoto decided that 83gsm would be ideal. It feels great to write on and has very little show-through, if at all.
What is COSMO AIR LIGHT paper?
COSMO AIR LIGHT is categorised as micro coated high-bulk paper - paper that is thick but light. Thickness of 83GSM is 111±3μm. it's the same as matte coated paper 104.7GSM. In other words, COSMO AIR LIGHT is more 20% lighter than matte coated paper regardless of the same thickness.
