The name “Semantics” isn’t just quirky—it’s meaningful. Semantics refers to the study of the meaning of words, which ties perfectly into owner Ali’s love of grammar, syntax, and finding just the right words. This passion is reflected in every detail of the store, from the handpicked products to the cozy, inspiring atmosphere. Ali, an Indiana native, opened the store after realizing there was a gap in Indy’s independent stationery scene. Her mission? To create a welcoming space for paper enthusiasts to explore, discover, and find joy in the simple things—like a beautifully crafted notebook or the perfect pen.
Semantics Paper Goods is especially proud to feature products from other independently owned businesses in the U.S., alongside unique Japanese stationery that’ll make your heart skip a beat. Supporting small businesses and celebrating the artistry of paper goods is at the core of what Semantics stands for.
