Minimal Resume Template

Single-column · Source Serif · Minimal

Minimal drops the bold masthead almost every other template uses: the name is set in a normal-weight serif with wide tracking, and nothing on the page competes with it. Skills sit as plain tags with no grouping, and a five-dot rating handles languages.

Use this template

Who it suits

  • Anyone who wants the content to carry the page, not the type
