Why Onyx?Who should use this template?What you getColour optionsTips for getting the most out of OnyxWrite your cover letter with Onyx on Laddro

Why Onyx?

Onyx is the boldest cover letter template on Laddro. It features a full-width header block in a rich, saturated colour (black, deep purple, vivid indigo, or soft lavender) that immediately draws the eye. Your name and contact details sit inside this block, creating a strong visual anchor.

The body of the letter remains clean and readable, with Manrope (a modern geometric sans-serif) providing the typography. The contrast between the bold header and the clean body creates a letter that is both eye-catching and easy to read.

Who should use this template?

Onyx is for people who want to make a statement. It works best in:

  • Creative industries: design, advertising, media, entertainment
  • Startups and tech companies with a strong visual culture
  • Roles where personal brand matters: marketing, communications, brand management
  • Applications where you want to stand out from a stack of plain white letters

If the company has a creative culture and values design, Onyx will resonate. If you are applying to a conservative law firm, consider Slate or Nickel instead.

What you get

  • A header block layout with a bold coloured banner
  • 8 colour themes from black to vivid purple, indigo, and blue
  • Manrope as the default font, modern and geometric
  • Strong visual contrast that creates instant recognition
  • Fully customisable in the Laddro builder

Colour options

Onyx offers 8 colour variations:

  • Classic black header for a dramatic, high-contrast look
  • Vivid indigo for bold creative energy
  • Deep purple for a rich, confident feel
  • Dark navy for a slightly more restrained option
  • Soft lavender for a creative but approachable tone
  • Steel blue for versatility across industries

Tips for getting the most out of Onyx

  1. Let the header do the visual work. Keep the body text clean and well-spaced.
  2. The purple and indigo variants are the standout options. They are the reason to choose Onyx over a more neutral template.
  3. Match the energy of your writing to the template. Bold design calls for confident content.
  4. Onyx works best as a PDF attachment, not pasted into an email body. The header block needs to render properly.

Write your cover letter with Onyx on Laddro

Start writing with Onyx. Choose your header colour, write your letter, and download a cover letter that gets noticed.
