Masthead resume template
A newspaper nameplate: centered serif, thin rules, dateline contact.
Masthead borrows the authority of the front page: your name set like a newspaper nameplate in large centered serif, framed by thin black rules, with contact arranged like a dateline beneath. Sections are headed by centered serif titles flanked by rules. It is a design for writers, editors, academics, and anyone whose work lives in words — formal, literate, and quietly commanding.

Questions about the Masthead template
Is it too old-fashioned for tech roles?
Masthead is deliberately traditional — it suits writing, academia, law, and policy far better than startups or engineering.

The design is intentionally black and white for that newsprint authority; accents follow your theme color subtly.
Is it ATS-friendly?
Extremely — single column, standard headings, real text throughout.
