This pitch sits just under the three named American rulings on this shelf. Twenty-five lines fit the page at 6.0 mm, against twenty-four for the 6.35 mm narrow ruling on the same sheet.

A tighter pitch suits small handwriting and dense notes better than it suits a loose, large hand, which runs out of room before the row does. Nothing about the ruling changes what gets written on it. It only sets how much of the page a line of that writing is allowed to take.

Every rule on the page is drawn as vector geometry, not a printed pattern, so it holds a sharp edge at any zoom and adds almost nothing to the file. It does not, on its own, make small handwriting any easier to read back later.
