Elegant

A letter from chambers. Libertinus Serif throughout, one deep ink color for the letterhead, the key labels and the amount to pay, hairlines for every divider and no filled areas. It looks credible in greyscale and costs little to print.

Preset	theme.elegant
Best for	law firms, notaries, tax advisers, auditors, consultancies
Default layout	the sender's window layout, with din-5008-b instead of din-5008-a (DE); us-letter-10 (US); see Layouts
Output	print for a window envelope, and PDF
Fonts	Libertinus Serif, embedded in Typst: identical on every machine
Stability	name and default layout stable; the look may still be refined in a minor release

What You Get

• A centered letterhead: the logo above the name, the name in spaced capitals over a short rule, the address on one line.
• The document word centered between hairlines, with the invoice number, place and date on one line below it.
• Labels in small capitals; column heads, "Bill to" and the amount to pay in the ink color.
• A hairline table without stripes, and the amount to pay between a thin rule and an accountant's double rule.
• Bank details as a label grid with the EPC-QR code, and the legal footer on every page.

Make It Yours

elegant works with one brand color, used as ink. Pass it with your logo, and a display face for the letterhead if you have one:

#show: invoice.with(
  theme: theme.elegant.with(
    theme.custom.brand(
      color: rgb("#5b1f2e"), // one ink color: letterhead, key labels, the payable
      heading-font: ("Cormorant Garamond", "Libertinus Serif"),
      logo: image("logo.svg", alt: "Atelier Nord GmbH"),
    ),
  ),
  // sender: .., recipient: .., invoice-nr: ..
)

The default ink is a deep blue (#1c2a48). Dark colors work best: the ink is used for text.

Layouts

The centered letterhead needs room, so for a German sender elegant uses DIN 5008 form B (a 37 mm letterhead zone) where classic uses form A. In every other region it uses the same window layout as classic. For form A, pass it explicitly: theme.elegant.with(layout: theme.layout.din-5008-a). The logo then moves beside the name.

Good to Know

• Greyscale: without fills and with dark ink, the invoice survives a black-and-white copy or fax.
• Fonts: Libertinus Serif is embedded in Typst, so the invoice looks the same on every machine without installing anything.
• A premium variant: Prestige shares the serif grammar of elegant, with a dark letterhead band and champagne accents.
