ductus is how high letters are in nib widths right? If so I aim for 5
And I worked from the book The Art of Calligraphy by David Harris

My super qt calligraphy professor recommends this book and it's what I used for my picture! $3 used, and there are PDFs online (but I think a paper copy is easier to refer to when practicing).
Sheila Waters is kind of the grand dame of calligraphy and has a great book called The Foundations of Calligraphy that's a bit pricier but also good. $35 from John Neal (not on Amazon), but I think just the first book is a great start and enough for a loooooong time.
