The HON is the hardcover member of the Hobonichi family: a full daily planner with its cover built in, so there is nothing to slip on or take off. Slash is its most restrained design, a single diagonal stroke foil-printed in gold across a navy so dark it reads almost black, taken from the forward slash people use when they write a date. The cover fabric is a matte cotton that resists marks and handling, and the spine carries the year and the HON logo in gold so the book can be shelved and found later like any other volume.
