Manuscript resume template
Sepia ink, justified lines — an old-style manuscript.
Manuscript is set entirely in warm sepia ink like a treasured document: your name large at center, your summary justified and italic like a manuscript paragraph, and section headings in tracked sepia caps over soft rules. Experience entries pair bold roles with italic companies and dates. It feels archival and personal — a resume with the warmth of handwritten history.

Will Manuscript pass applicant tracking systems?
Single-column, real text, conventional headings — parses cleanly. Sepia is styling only; parsers read the underlying text normally.
Every Cvyon template exports through your browser's print-to-PDF, so the text layer stays selectable and searchable — the thing parsers actually read. After downloading, run your resume through our free ATS grader to confirm it scores well before you apply.

Questions about the Manuscript template
Is sepia ink professional?
The warm brown reads as classic and archival rather than casual — it suits humanities and heritage fields beautifully.
Does justified text cause parsing issues?
No — justification is visual spacing; the text content and order are unchanged.
Will it print well?
Sepia prints as a rich warm tone on any printer, in both color and grayscale.
