Millimeter & Dot Grid Paper
Fine metric grids, plus a dot-grid variant for designers.
Millimeter paper uses a fine, precise metric grid — common outside the US wherever measurements are done in millimeters and centimeters. The dot-grid variant swaps solid lines for a light array of dots at each intersection, giving you the same alignment guide with far less visual clutter, which is why it's become popular for bullet journaling and hand-lettering.
Who uses this
Metric-system schoolwork and drafting
Precise measurement work anywhere centimeters and millimeters are the standard unit.
Bullet journaling
Dot grid specifically — enough structure to keep handwriting straight without the grid fighting your layout.
Technical drawing at fine scale
1mm or 2mm spacing for detail work that a coarser grid can't support.

Questions
Why would I want dots instead of lines?
Dots give you the same alignment help without visually competing with your own writing or drawing — most bullet journal layouts use dot grid for exactly this reason.
What's a good default spacing?
5mm is the standard default; go to 2mm for genuinely fine work, or 10mm if you want a coarser guide that's barely there.
