About dot grid paper
Dot grid paper combines the structure of graph paper with the clean look of blank paper. Instead of continuous lines, you get dots at regular intervals — usually 5mm apart. The dots help you keep text aligned and drawings proportional, but they fade into the background when you write or sketch.
Dot grid has become the standard for bullet journaling, design thinking, and engineering sketches. It's also widely used in digital notebooks like GoodNotes and Notability as the default template.

Absolutely — dot grid is the most popular bullet journal paper format because the dots are subtle enough to disappear in photos but visible enough to keep your layouts aligned.
