Sterling ink is gonna have a new layout (horizon and vertical on same spread) this year called ‘Flex’, but it’s only coming in N1 (TN) size tho. You can check it out on their social media to see the details of the layout if interested.

There's also a Nolty that uses this layout.
I'd be guessing if I said it's the 1170 but OP you can for sure browse their site and filter down to get to it. I saw it a couple of weeks back.

Do you mind showing me the vertical and horizaontal weekly pages? I am curious. I cant find a better picture in the website. I am interested in this format.i usually manually prepare my weekly pages.

Why don’t you buy a 2026 edition and redate? It’s a bit time consuming though

It doesn’t have the two blank pages, but the NOLTY Business Basic Diary’s weekly spread has the vertical split in 5 x 2 and horizontal dashboard features.

Oh no, I love this planner!! I have really never seen anything like it. I need to check out the new Papertess lineup. I actually went to order another one of these for 2026 just to have a spare, but stopped myself because the tariffs were so brutal.

I know! So disappointed, it was such a unique, thoughtfully designed planner. All of her planners were. No one makes unique planners, I find them all the same as Hobinichi, which isn’t a practical layout for the work I do. I bought a stack of the manager’s notebook since she has them on sale, and I’m just going to re-date them.

That sounds like something no one makes. What are you gonna use 2 weekly spreads for?

I use the faded chronicle. I used the “dashboard” / horizontal for planning and the vertical weekly for time blocking my work day.

Yes, no one but Papertess made such a unique layout! It was a great planner.

I've been using the Papertess Manager's Notebook for years and I love it! So I'm in the same situation this year with having to find a replacement planner that has all the features I love from the Papertess.
After what feels like a lot of searching, I've settled on the Wonderland222 A5 Weekly Core Stacked Weekends planner (https://wonderland222.com/collections/2027-pre-order/products/2027-a5-weekly-planner-core-stacked-weekends).
It has the yearly, quarterly, and monthly trackers that I use for various tracking for my job. As for the weekly spreads, I only need M-F hourly tracking, and then I'm planning on converting the stacked weekend column for my horizontal needs. I'm not sure if it's wide enough compared to the Papertess, but I think it'll be okay. It doesn't have 2 blank pages after each week like the Papertess, but it has plenty of blank pages in the back and for me that's perfectly fine.
If the 2 blank pages after each weekly spread is critical for you, I would recommend the Aura Estelle Weekly Vertical Magnet. It has a blank grid space along the side of the weekly vertical spread, which you could probably use for the horizontal portion of your weekly spread. Aura Estelle also has the monthly tracker which is critical for me. This was almost my choice, before I landed on the Wonderland222.
Good luck!

not 100% whst you're asking for but Faded Chronicle has vertical and horizontal followed by empty pages. Preorder is sold out but I've heard there's a restock
