John, not exactly sure I know what you're asking. It is coated, as the
other H papers. Somerset Velvet does have a softer feel, but Turner is
definitely more textured and could be described as "harder" I suppose.
Some people described it as having a sandpaper feel, I wouldn't go
that far. More like a cold press watercolor paper I guess.
I think you might have to actually see the stuff, if you like smooth,
you won't like it.
