Compact Ledger layout
Ledger Compact invoice template
Dense table for long invoices — about half the height, with the header repeated per page.
What you see above is the whole document — every template stays visible whatever you pay. Making an invoice with Ledger Compact itself is not part of the Free plan: Free covers 6 of the 60 templates, which are the 6 the generator offers, and the rest arrive with the paid plan when it launches.

How this sheet is set
The Compact Ledger layout unskinned — Open Sans and IBM Plex Mono on the library's default blue. The density belongs to the layout, not to the skin.
The Compact Ledger layout
The schedule is a real table, which is the only reason its header can repeat when the sheet breaks across pages. Margins and line height are tighter than the classic sheet's, so roughly twice as many rows fit before a second page starts.
Who it suits
Long itemised invoices — agencies billing many small tasks, consultancies billing per ticket, anyone whose schedule regularly runs past twenty lines.
The voice a finance department reads without noticing it: neutral sans-serif type, plain hierarchy, enough weight to survive a photocopy, and no typographic opinion competing with the figures.
What it prints
Every template in the library prints the same set of facts — a template that dropped one would fail the library’s own contract test. What changes between them is where the facts sit and how they are set.
- Issuer and recipient, each with an address, an optional contact line, and a tax label and number you write yourself.
- Invoice number, issue date, service period, payment terms or an explicit due date, and the date of the service agreement.
- Your own references — purchase order, contract, cost centre — labelled the way your client labels them.
- Line items with a quantity, an optional unit, an optional period, a rate and an amount.
- A note field, and full banking details with an optional payment reference.
Anything you leave empty prints nothing at all — no blank labels, no placeholder rows.
