Writing notebook Oxford 400094959 B5, monochromatic cover, matt finish, 90 g/m² paper

Oxford 400094959 is a B5 writing notebook with a monochromatic matt cover and 90 g/m² paper designed for everyday writing, note-taking and light sketching. The B5 format balances portability with sufficient writing space, making this notebook suitable for students, office use and personal journals. The matt finish provides a subtle, low-reflective surface that complements the simple cover design and the medium-weight paper supports a range of pens and pencils with minimal bleed-through.

Advantages

The 90 g/m² paper offers improved opacity and ink handling compared with standard lightweight sheets, reducing show-through and making both sides of the page usable. The B5 size is convenient for carrying in backpacks and briefcases while giving more room to write than compact notebooks. The matt, monochromatic cover delivers a restrained aesthetic that fits professional and casual environments alike, and the cover finish resists minor marks and reflections during daily use.

Suitable for

• Lecture and classroom notes
• Meeting minutes and office records
• Personal journaling and planning
• Sketching and quick diagrams with pencils or fineliners
• Field notes and on-the-go writing

Key specifications

• Format: B5 (intermediate size between A4 and A5)
• Paper weight: 90 g/m²
• Cover: monochromatic with matt finish
• Paper type: suitable for pens and pencils, reduced show-through
• Typical uses: writing, note-taking, sketching

How to use

Use the notebook for daily notes, structured lists or sketches. The medium-weight 90 g/m² pages allow writing on both sides with many pen and pencil types; allow a few seconds for ink to dry to avoid smudging with gel or fountain pens. Store the notebook flat or upright in a bag or on a shelf to keep the cover and pages in good condition. For multi-subject organisation, label the front page or use tabs to separate sections.

Usage recommendations

For best results with ink pens, test your preferred pen on the back page to check drying time and bleed-through. Use a ruler for straight lines and consider using adhesive tabs to mark frequently used sections. If you prefer a softer tactile cover, consider the Oxford Floral range, which features a 'soft touch' finish and floral designs in several colours.
