TypographyFirst resume template

Type-led design where the letterforms do the talking.

TypographyFirst removes everything but type: an italic five-extra-large serif name, a bordered summary band set like an epigraph, italic section titles, and experience in a 1fr/3fr grid of labels and entries. No icons, no colors shouting — just hierarchy, contrast, and rhythm in letterforms. For people who know that type is the original interface.

Will TypographyFirst pass applicant tracking systems?

Single-column flow with real text and standard headings parses well. The grid rows are visual alignment only — text extracts in logical order.

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 TypographyFirst template

Why no icons or colors?

The premise is that typography alone can carry hierarchy. Removing ornament proves the point — and keeps the page timeless.

Is italic text hard to parse?

No — italics are a font style, and parsers read the underlying characters normally.

Who appreciates this template most?

Readers who notice type: editors, designers, academics, and anyone in publishing or communications.
