Initials & Hairline Rule Letterhead
The quietest personal monogram there is: your three initials tracked wide across the top of the page, a hairline rule beneath, name and address tucked in below. Set the initials, typeface, ink, and size and watch the page update as you go.
Specifications: US Letter, 8.5 × 11 inches, portrait. The Word download is a .dotx template with the artwork embedded at print resolution; it opens in Word 2007 through Microsoft 365, including Word for Mac. The Google Docs button opens a copy in your own Drive. One page, fully editable, free — no account and no watermark.

Letterspacing is the whole design. Three initials set tight read as an abbreviation; the same three set wide, with a rule under them, read as stationery. That is why the tracking here is generous and the rule runs the full width of the text column — the lockup is meant to sit quietly at the top of a personal letter, not announce itself.
Common questions
What order do the initials go in?
First, middle, last — read straight across. That is the plain reading order for a letterspaced lockup, and it differs from a traditional stacked or interlocking monogram, where the surname initial sits larger in the middle.
Can I use two initials instead of three?
Yes — leave a box empty and the remaining initials close up with the same letterspacing and rule.
Can I still edit the name and address?
Yes. Only the initials and rule are artwork — your full name, the address line, and the letter body stay editable text in both Word and Google Docs.
