Yes, 120 gsm is heavier than most notebook paper, so it handles brush pens and highlighters with less show-through. RETTACY says most pens, pencils and markers won’t ghost or bleed on it.
For comparison, PAPERAGE uses 100 gsm, the standard Leuchtturm1917 80 g/m², and premium journals such as Archer & Olive 160 gsm. Very wet fountain pens are the hardest test; Amazon buyers are split on whether they bleed through here.
How does it compare with PAPERAGE and Leuchtturm1917?
It has heavier paper than either, in a two-journal pack; Leuchtturm1917 has more pages and a long track record.
The RETTACY journal is A5-sized, a little taller than the PAPERAGE.
The listing offers 19 cover-color pairs and four rulings: dotted, grid, lined and unlined. Pairs include Black & Dark Green, Black & Navy Blue, Black & Pink and matching pairs such as Brown & Brown; not every color comes in every ruling.
RETTACY also sells 192-page single journals with 100 gsm paper and 256- and 300-page versions as separate listings.
Who makes RETTACY journals, and where?
RETTACY is a marketplace brand owned by an individual in China, and it doesn’t say where the journals are made. The USPTO lists the RETTACY trademark, registered September 11, 2018 for notebooks, as owned by an individual in Shenzhen, Guangdong.
When we checked, the featured offer was sold by SoPower, whose seller profile names a company in Shenzhen’s Bao’an District. Amazon’s Product information gives “Manufacturer: RETTACY” and no country of origin, so we list it as not stated.
How much does it cost?
It’s in our $$ band ($5–20 per journal): the 2-pack works out at under $10 a journal. Several sellers offered it on Amazon when we checked on October 23, 2026.
