Paper resume template
Hairline rules and quiet serif — paper-like restraint.
Paper feels like a beautifully typeset document: quiet serif type, hairline rules under every section header and the contact block, and calm, even spacing. There is no color shouting for attention — just the texture of well-set type. It suits academics, writers, editors, and traditional professionals who believe a resume should read like a fine printed page.

Questions about the Paper template
Can I add color to Paper?
The design is intentionally near-monochrome; your theme color appears only in the subtlest accents.
Is serif type okay for ATS?
Yes — parsers read characters, not typefaces. Serif versus sans makes no difference to parsing.
Is it ATS-friendly?
Very — about as safe as a resume can be.
