Template 14 of 59
Ledger
A rule under every heading, every title and every line. The most ruled page in the set, and the one that looks least like a resume and most like an accounts page, which is the trade.
The numbers
Every figure below is a value in the template registry the builder ships (assets/js/render/templates.js), or a size derived from it by the same multipliers the document stylesheet uses. Body text is not the preset’s nominal point size: it is that figure corrected for the face’s optical size, which is why a 10 pt Helvetica preset renders at 11.73 pt here. Nothing on this page is a measured pass rate or a hiring outcome, because neither exists.

What it is for
Good at
- Documents that are read line by line and checked. Audit, compliance and finance readers are trained to look for the line that ends a claim.
- Print. A ruled page survives a photocopy better than any other preset in the set.
- A long bullet list where you want each claim to read as a separate, countable item.
- People who find an unstructured page hard to navigate.
Bad at
- A first impression. It looks like a ledger, and that is exactly what a reader will say.
- A page with few bullets. The rules between lines are only worth drawing where there are lines to separate.
- Screen reading, where three hairlines per entry is a lot of ink for no information.
- Colour printing, where a ruled monochrome page wastes the only thing you paid for.
ATS profile
Clean
One column, no tables, no images, and a heading alone on its line. The rules are paragraph borders, so they add nothing for a parser to interpret.
It is worth being precise about why this is still clean despite being the most ruled page here: a rule is a border on a block, and a text extractor reads blocks. What breaks a parse is a rule used as a table boundary, where the text inside it is no longer in reading order.
If the ruled look is what you want and you would rather not say so, print-safe is ruled only at the section level.
Still yours to get right
A clean layout with a placeholder employer named “Company 1” is still a document a parser discards. No template can fix a sentence that describes effort instead of effect. Start with the resume basics guide and the one on quantifying impact.
