Spread cover letter template
A wash behind the top of the page with a display name sitting on it.
What defines this design
- Sans-serif typeface
- Name one side, contacts the other
- White paper
- A tinted wash behind the header
- The name set at display size
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 Spread
Spread puts your name at a size nobody misses. That reads as confidence in creative, marketing and product roles, and as noise in law, medicine, finance and the civil service — where the safest thing on the page is the thing that looks like every other letter in the pile.
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.
