This is an attempt to reproduce the Illinois letterhead in Latex using the new brand, the block-I.
The official typogrophy recommendation is the Montserrat font, used here and included in TexLive. The main text defaults to Montserrat, but the body can be easily changed.
Copy (or link) the illinois-letterhead.sty and .pdf logo files to your working directory. In addition, you will need sig.png or some other signature if you plan to use one. Then start with template.tex and modify.
The following commands are optional:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
\fromdept{<text>} |
Department name |
\fromdeptaddress{<text>} |
Department address |
\fromtel{<text>} |
Phone number (footer) |
\fromemail{<text>} |
Email address (footer) |
\fromweb{<text>} |
URL (footer) |
\fromname{<text>} |
From name (closing) |
\closing{<text>} |
Closing text (e.g. Sincerely,, closing) |
\signaturefile{<filename>} |
Signature file (closing) |
Script startletter.sh is simple script that can create a directory for each letter. For example,
./startletter.sh some_topic_2024will create
some_topic_2024
├── illinois-letterhead.sty
├── Illinois-Logo-Full-Color-CMYK.pdf
├── Illinois-Wordmark-Horizontal-Full-Color-CMYK.pdf
├── mysig.pdf
└── some_topic_2024.tex
Each letter is then self-contained to a directory.
The script will use mytemplate.tex and mysig.pdf as a default. Copy the template and a signature file to start.
You can see details by using the layout option: \usepackage[layout]{illinois-letterhead}. Setting this shows the measurements similar to here.
