The Apex diary (D1017) in A5 size is a mid-size diary with a cover in thermal silk PU leather. A5 is a handy page format, smaller than a desk planner and larger than a pocket notebook, so it carries easily in a bag and still leaves room on each page. The cover is smooth and soft-looking, with a slight sheen from the silk finish, and all four corners are gently rounded.
The front of this diary carries one bold design: a single brush stroke. A broad, rough-edged band is pressed into the cover across the middle, with fine streaks and small splatters at its edges, so it looks like paint swept across the surface in one movement. The band is embossed, which means it shows as a texture you can feel as well as see, and its tone sits close to the cover color, so the effect stays soft and not harsh.
Across the center of the band, the year 2027 is set in gold script lettering. The gold is the only metallic detail on the cover, and it stands out clearly against the red. The rest of the front is left plain, with no border, pattern or second design, so the brush stroke and the year mark share the whole surface between them. This makes the cover look confident without looking crowded.
The diary comes in two colors, red and blue. The A5 in the image is a bright coral red, which is lively and easy to spot on a desk or in a bag. Blue is deeper and more formal, and it gives the same design a calmer look. The shape, the finish and the brush stroke are identical in both, so the choice comes down to color alone.
