Arrive as one deliberate application.
When your resume and cover letter share typography and spacing, the pair reads as considered. Mismatched documents look assembled from whatever was to hand — a small negative signal, and a free one to avoid.
KaizenCV has 11 cover letter templates, grouped as classic, modern, minimal, and creative. 5 are free: Zephyr, Quill, Ember, Riddle, and Cipher. Each is designed to pair with a resume template, so a submitted application reads as one coherent document rather than two unrelated files.
Classic
Traditional letter structure with serif typography. The right register for law, finance, healthcare, education, and public sector applications, where convention signals that you understood the brief.

Modern
Contemporary type and spacing without decoration. A safe, current default for technical, product, and commercial roles.

Minimal
Stripped back so the writing carries the letter. Best when your argument is strong and you want nothing competing with it.
- EmberFree
Creative
Visible design personality, for roles where presentation is part of what is being assessed. Match to sector — assertive design helps in an agency and hurts in a bank.
