Turn a page of this book the way you would a page ruled for Latin script and the margin lands on the wrong side. The rule here sits on the right, because a hand writing Arabic or Jawi starts there, and a fixed line on the left would be in the way of nothing. The baseline itself repeats every 11.99 millimetres, fourteen to the page, with a second line above it, dashed, marking how far a letter's body is allowed to rise before it runs into the line above.

A how-to-use page opens the book and explains both lines before the first ruled one arrives, so nobody is left guessing which is the rule to write on. One hundred and nine pages of it follow, then a short run of plain lined pages at the back for a word list, a teacher's correction, or anything the guide does not fit.

It gives the hand the same edge to start from, page after page. It does not straighten a letter that leans, and it will not tell you if the proportion is wrong. That part is still the hand's.

What is inside

Practice: 109pp; The baseline and body guide hold their pitch for the whole run, so a stroke practised early still lands the same way at the end.
Reference: 11pp; A how-to-use page for the ruling, conversion tables computed from definitions, and the pen test leaf.

In every book

The same six pages open every book: your details, who to call, the signs to point at when you have no shared language, and the map. They sit at the front because the moment you need them is not the moment to be flicking through.

How to use it: One page describing this book, not a different one.
This book belongs to: One page for your name and number, so a book that goes missing can come back.
My details: Blood group, allergies, who to call. Written once, carried everywhere.
Emergency numbers: Forty countries, taken from Wikidata property P2852 (CC0), agreed across two sources, every row carrying its QID. Numbers change and a book does not — verify locally on arrival.
Point at this: A pictogram grid captioned in English above and Indonesian below, for when there is no shared language.
World map: Natural Earth 110m, public domain, equirectangular, with UTC hour meridians computed from the projection rather than from a timezone database. For orientation and for pointing at, not a navigation chart.
Conversion tables: Computed from definitions — 25.4 mm to the inch — and not copied from anywhere, so every row can be checked by anyone holding the book.
Pen test leaf: The last page, printed for it on purpose. Every notebook is used this way; printing it deliberately is cheaper than losing the last leaf to it by accident.

The film

Page by page

A vertical film, 52 seconds: the cover, the ruling page, then 5 reference pages. Synthesised ambient bed, no dialogue — captions in three languages.

A vertical film from our own bench — this page contacts nobody's server to play it, and downloads nothing until you press play.
