Designing for one person, not an organisation
A consultant's letterhead has a different problem from a company's. There is no logo to anchor it, no registered details to fill the footer, and the name on the page is a person rather than an institution. The space that a corporate letterhead fills with structure has to be filled with typography and restraint instead.
What usually works: the name at a size that carries, a single line underneath saying what you do, and contact details small and out of the way. What usually does not: a monogram pretending to be a corporate mark, or a tagline written in the first-person plural when there is only one of you.
Which contact details to show
Independent practitioners often work from home, which makes the address line a real decision rather than a formality. A full home address on a letter going to a new client is more disclosure than most people want. Common alternatives are a city and country only, a registered business address, or no postal address at all when the correspondence is digital.
Leave the address field blank in the editor and the layout closes up around it rather than leaving a gap — the design does not depend on it being filled.
Who a professional letterhead is for
A professional letterhead usually skips heavy borders and legal footers in favour of a clean, modern layout: a confident sans-serif heading, a single accent colour, and just enough contact detail to be reachable. It's the register for someone representing themselves professionally rather than a large organisation.

Professional letterhead questions
What is a professional letterhead?
A professional letterhead is a clean, modern letterhead style typically used by individuals — consultants, freelancers, coaches — rather than registered companies, prioritising a polished personal brand over formal legal detail.
What fonts work best for a professional letterhead?
Modern geometric sans-serifs (Outfit, Inter, Space Grotesk) read as current and professional. Pair a slightly bolder heading weight with a lighter body font for contrast.
Do I need a logo for a professional letterhead?
No — a well-set name and tagline in a good typeface reads professionally on its own. A logo helps if you already have one, but it isn't required.
