For lowercase letters, use a grid of several centimeters.

The ancients used 1.7 or 1.8 cm.

In ancient calligraphy, lowercase letters were written in a dense grid. According to the traditional norms, when the ancients wrote small letters, the spacing between squares was 1.7 or 1.8 cm. This grid size is suitable for writing smaller fonts. Now people use 2 cm squares to write capital letters, which are relatively large and need more spacious space for writing and displaying.
