From 60 to 150: Ninety New Designs
A template is more than a colour scheme. Each one is a small design system: a body font, a heading font, sometimes a third font for subheadings, a palette that works in both light and dark mode, line spacing, and weight rules. Choosing all of that yourself takes knowledge and time. A template hands you a finished version in one click.
The library used to hold 60. It now holds 150. The 90 new templates were not added to chase a bigger number. Each one fills a gap: a kind of document, or a visual style, that the catalogue could not handle well before. The result is that whatever you are writing, from a business proposal to a tattoo-flash short story, there is now a template built for it.
Templates are professional design, automated
Apply a template and your document picks up the entire aesthetic at once: fonts, colours, spacing, and heading hierarchy. Nothing about your text changes, only how it looks. Do not like it? Pick another. There is no commitment and no loss of work.
What the 150 Cover
The collection spans the full range of writing, grouped loosely by purpose:
Everyday and professional: Clean Business, Modern, Academic, Legal, Medical, Technical, Minimalist, and more. The dependable workhorses for reports, papers, proposals, and documentation.
Creative and literary: Creative, Storybook, Literary, Magazine, plus distinctive looks like Manga, Comic Strip, Soundstage Script for screenplays, and Western Frontier. Give fiction, scripts, and articles a personality that matches their content.
Accessibility first: Dyslexia Friendly uses the OpenDyslexic font with generous spacing, and several high-contrast designs are tuned for comfortable reading. (See accessible reading for dyslexia and ADHD.)
Bold and atmospheric: Detective Files, Tattoo Parlour, Vinyl Jazz Club, Coffee Roastery, Newspaper, and a long list of themed designs for when a document should feel like something.
