How the Elegant template is laid out
The name is set in uppercase with wide letter spacing and a lighter weight, centred above a title in tracked capitals. Contact details are divided by thin slashes in the accent colour. Section headings are small and widely spaced, and a hairline rule separates the header from the body. The overall look is quiet and formal.
Who should use Elegant?
Hospitality, luxury retail, architecture, interior design and communications roles, where presentation is part of the job. It also suits senior candidates who want a refined page without using a photo or colour block.
Is Elegant ATS-friendly?
Letter spacing is applied with styling, not by typing spaces between letters, so your name is still extracted as one word. The single column keeps the order intact.
A writing tip for Elegant
Light, spaced type needs short lines. Keep bullets under two lines each so the page does not turn grey.
