Paper behaviour

120 GSM Kraft Paper

A warm-toned 120 GSM kraft paper defined by its natural character and balanced strength. The earthy brown shade runs consistently throughout the sheet, offering depth without artificial coating or surface treatment.

Made from acid-free fibres, the paper is designed to maintain its integrity over time, helping to prevent yellowing and deterioration.

The 120 GSM weight provides a stable yet flexible structure, giving the sheet a substantial feel while remaining easy to handle. A lightly textured surface adds subtle tooth, supporting clean mark definition while helping to reduce feathering and bleed-through.

Natural, durable, and structurally refined.

Suitable For

- High-contrast drawing
- Metallic and opaque ink work
- White charcoal and pastel studies
- Portrait-format drafting
