All three share a 220 × 173 mm (8.7 × 6.8 in) page, stand at H165 × W220 × D90 mm (6.5 × 8.7 × 3.5 in), use 80 g/m² MD Paper on a silver twin wire ring, run January to December 2027 and are made in Japan.
Flat and standing at 1 mm = 0.95 px, with the three types.
Which type should you choose?
Monthly for a clean month at a glance, Twin for seeing two months together, Weekly if you write daily plans on it. MIDORI says the Twin suits people working on mid- to long-term projects.
The Weekly is twice the weight because it has 53 calendar pages. Its days have room for to-dos and notes, per MIDORI.
How does the string stand work?
MIDORI calls it a simple stand held by a single string: you set it up as a tent or fold it down flat. Laid flat, it rests like an open notebook, which should make writing on it easier than on a fixed easel.
How does it compare with other desk calendars?
It’s the plain, paper-first choice; Hobonichi’s and Rifle Paper Co.’s 2027 calendars bring artwork or a whiteboard surface.
If you already use the paper in an MD Notebook or the MD Diary, this calendar matches it. MIDORI also makes two 2027 MD wall calendars: a bi-fold (31449006) at ¥880 (about US$5.60) and one with an MD pencil (31448006) at ¥1,870 (about US$12).
Why does the paper matter on a calendar?
MD Paper is MIDORI’s own writing paper, made to take fountain pen ink without feathering, and this calendar uses an 80 g/m² sheet. Most desk calendars use paper chosen for printing photos, not for handwriting.
Because it folds flat, you can rest your hand on it as you would on a notebook. We haven’t yet tested how much ink shows through to the next month.
What are the downsides?
There’s no artwork, no holidays listed on the product page, and the Weekly type is twice as heavy. MIDORI’s page doesn’t say which holidays it marks or which day the weeks start on, so check before you buy if that matters.
It’s also small: 220 × 165 mm is about the size of an A5 notebook laid sideways, so it suits a desk, not a wall.
Where is the MD Desk Calendar made?
In Japan, per the country of origin on MIDORI’s MD PRODUCT store. MIDORI is a brand of Designphil Inc. in Tokyo. For more picks, see our best 2027 desk and wall calendars.
