Best Resume is now CVBuilderKit. Same site, same templates - but signing in again is required, because the address changed.

Vintage Resume Template

Two-column · Rubik · Elegant

Vintage sets the name in Playfair Display across one unbroken letterspaced masthead line that shrinks to fit, with a single role phrase under it and at most three contacts printed as plain text, separated by an ornament rather than icons. A parchment page, a deep oxblood accent, gold rosette ornaments and a tinted side panel holding the summary, skills and education carry the rest.

Use this template

Who it suits

  • A resume that wants a printed, editorial feel rather than a screen-first one
  • Roles in law, academia, publishing or hospitality where a traditional look reads as credible
  • A CV with a short name and few contacts - the masthead is one line and shrinks to fit

What it includes

  • Summary
  • Skills
