Who it is for

Many clients first open an invoice on a phone. A sans-serif at the right weight stays crisp at small sizes, and a semibold amount due is easy to find with a thumb and a glance.

This template keeps the arrangement of the Classic template, letterhead left and number right, and sets everything in Hanken Grotesk, with names and totals in semibold. Nothing else changes, so it is just as easy to read and process.

It suits digital studios, technology freelancers, startups and any business whose own branding uses a sans-serif.

Questions

What makes an invoice template modern?

Mostly typography and restraint: a contemporary sans-serif, generous spacing, few rules and no decoration. The structure should still be conventional, so clients find everything where they expect it.

Is a sans-serif invoice less formal?

Not if it is set carefully. This template keeps a formal arrangement; only the typeface changes.

Will it look the same on my client’s computer?

Yes. The PDF embeds the typeface, so it doesn’t depend on the fonts your client has installed.

Can I use my brand colors?

Folio’s templates are deliberately black on white, which prints well and looks consistent. Your logo carries your brand.
