75% cotton
High cotton content, very good mechanical strength. Pleasure of using a soft, supple, noble material (unbelievable feel).

Texture
Laid. The laid lines give the paper a certain relief and a prestigious surface that preserves every nuance of the pencil stroke and gives body and depth to the drawing. Paper famous for its exceptional qualities in fine arts schools all over the world. Favourite paper of 19th French artists (e.g. Georges Seurat’s charcoal drawings).

Strong, but lightweight at the same time. Has very good bulk. Ideal for expressing one’s creativity on an ultra-high performance academic medium.

Special formulation
