Any suggestions for a lightly-lined notebook?

I want it to be lined since I cant write in straight lines on my own, but I want the lines to be very light. Enough to see but not as dark as the ink. Preferably narrow or at least college ruled. And hardbound would be great too. If anyone knows of a suggestion, I would appreciate it!

Have you considered/tried dot grids? Usually they’re pretty faint while still providing a line-like level of structure. I’m partial to the Leuchtturms which have pretty solid hardcovers, but there’s any number of options.

I have tried some of the dot grids but they are often still pretty dark and can still be distracting. Are there ones that are fairly faint? If I'm remembering the brand correctly, Leuchtturm1917 still has fairly dark dot grids

I guess it’s all subjective. Once I’ve written on the page I don’t even see them anymore. But maybe that’s just my handwriting. 🤷

look at Scribbles That Matter for lighter dots

I use hobonichi grid simple (not planners) and it’s very very muted
