About the Pillar cover letter template

Pillar runs a band of accent colour down the entire left edge of the page, carrying no content of its own. Contact details use icons, and the body is justified.

How it is built

  • The left band takes 16% of the page width, runs the full height, and is purely decorative.
  • Contact details are rendered with icons rather than text separators, which no other letter template does.
  • The letter body is justified, and it starts beside the band rather than beneath it, so the colour runs past the signature to the foot of the page.

Every letter template holds the same correspondence structure, so switching between them changes how the page looks and never what you have written.
