The grid is generated from the page's physical dimensions, so 5mm squares measure 5mm on paper at 100% print scale.
Handwriting sits on the grid with an engineer-block hand by default, which is what technical notes usually look like.
Switch to isometric for 3D sketching, or engineering grid for the classic faint blue drafting stock.
