Journals size & guide
Pick your size.
Pick your closure.
Build the journal that works for you
A good journal should fit the life you're carrying it through.
Below is a little size guide in plain terms, so you can match the journal to your pocket, your bag, or your desk.
Two decisions
Every journal is built from an edition (the size) and a format (the closure).
Get the size for where it'll live, then the closure for how it'll be handled.
01 — Edition
How big & where it lives
The Daily, The Chronicle, or The Archive. This is about the size. You can find a size from Pocket, book bag, or desk.
02 — Format
How it closes & how it covers
Classic, Trifold, or Lockfold. This is about access and protection. How fast you can get in, and how much the cover protects the pages.
The three editions, to scale

Editions
Edition 01
Daily - pocket size
Built to be carried. Fits in a jacket's breast pocket, so it's on you where ever you need it. Best suited to shorter entries taken on the go.
Edition 02
Chronicle - A5
For most people this is the standard. Comfortable writing space while being small enough to go in a bag.
Edition 03
Archive - A4
This is the size that most people keep at an office desk or in a studio rather than in a bag. A standard full page size.
