Inkstand cover letter template
A dark page with your initials in a circle beside the name. Reversed type throughout.
What defines this design
- Sans-serif typeface
- Name, title and contacts stacked
- Printed dark, with the type reversed out
- Your initials as a mark
Every one of these is a setting, not a constraint — accent colour, typeface, size, spacing and page margins stay yours under Customize, and switching design later re-renders what you’ve written rather than starting it over.
When to send Inkstand
Inkstand prints the whole sheet dark, which is striking on a screen and expensive on a printer. Send it where the letter will be read as a file — a design studio, an agency, a startup — and pick something on white if you know it is going into a portal that flattens attachments or onto somebody's desk.
Whatever you pick, the letter is read for what it says. A design buys you the half-second before that starts — it cannot buy the paragraph after it. If you are undecided, take Classic and spend the time on the opening sentence instead.
