Styling Sidebar

The right sidebar in the editor has two tabs: Templates and Color & Fonts. All changes apply instantly and auto-save.

Templates

Templates tab showing four cover letter template options with preview thumbnails
Four templates are available, each with a distinct visual style:
TemplateStyleBest For
MinimalistClean layout with subtle color accentsConservative industries — finance, consulting, legal
BoldStrong header with prominent stylingCreative or leadership roles where presence matters
ModernContemporary design with balanced spacingTechnology, product, and startup roles
ClassicTraditional format with formal structureExecutive positions and established companies
Click any template thumbnail to switch. A “Selected” badge appears on the active template. All templates support the same header fields and body content — switching templates changes only the visual layout, not your content.

Color & Fonts

Color and Fonts tab showing color swatches, font family selector, and sliders for font size, line height, and word spacing

Colors

14 color swatches are available. Click any swatch to apply it — a checkmark indicates the active color. The color affects headings, accents, and structural elements depending on the template.

Font Family

Eight font options:
FontCharacter
InterClean and neutral — the default
RalewayElegant with distinctive weight variations
PoppinsGeometric and modern
RobotoVersatile and widely used
Open SansFriendly and highly readable
LatoProfessional with subtle warmth
MontserratBold and contemporary
RubikRounded and approachable

Font Size

A three-level slider that adjusts the base font size across the entire cover letter. Move it left for smaller text (fits more content) or right for larger text (more emphasis).

Line Height

Three levels: 120%, 135%, and 150%. Higher values add more vertical space between lines, improving readability at the cost of page length.

Word Spacing

A three-level slider that adjusts the space between words. Wider spacing improves readability; tighter spacing fits more content.
Start with the Minimalist template and the default color for most applications. If you are targeting a creative or design-focused role, experiment with Bold or Modern. The Classic template works well when applying to traditional organizations that value formal presentation.
