A single pole type magnetic head has a writing head including a main pole and an auxiliary pole, and a reading head including a read element, wherein the main pole has a recess on the trailing side of its air bearing surface. When recording is performed on a perpendicular medium by using the single pole type magnetic head, the magnetic field distribution on the trailing side of the main pole air bearing surface is linearized, whereby the magnetic reversal is determined. As a result, a bit is recorded without curving the shape of magnetic reversal. Accordingly, when the bit is read, the magnetic reversal width appears to be large, so that the half-width of a solitary wave is increased, and at the same time, the recording track width is narrowed with an increase in linear recording density.
