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.
