I have bought a new, very special kind of paper in Portugal today — papel de almaço. It has a blue hue, it has 25 ruled lines per official specification, and for centuries it was used for official purposes with or without an embedded stamp (before disappearing in 1986). It is still sporadically used to present applications and other administrative forms. I'm hoping it works with #fountainpens so that I can get a nice friendly paper to use!
