With this Copperplate ruler (there’s also one for Spencerian), you have x-heights varying from 3 to 7mm. With each x-height you have 2 options:
- 2:1:2 ratio (or 1:1:1); the left column of little holes
- 1,5:1:1,5 (3:2:3); the right holes
Place the Copperplate ruler alongside a normal ruler, use a mechanical pencil and draw your lines.
