Template 17 of 59
Regent
Palatino at just over thirteen point on a leading of 1.62, with a dash bullet and margins close to an inch. It is the slowest-reading page in the set and the one that most rewards being read properly.
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.

- Sheet
- Letter, 8.5 × 11 in
- Margins
- 0.95 in on all four sides
- Body
- 13.03 pt, 1.62 line height
- Face
- Palatino, web-safe. Corrected for optical size: 12 pt of Palatino reads like 10.5 pt of the system face.
- Line length
- 68 characters, about 34 em, capped and centred
- Name
- 25.41 pt
- Section headings
- Title case, 17.82 pt, no rule
- Section gap
- 18 pt. Entry gap 10 pt.
- Bullets
- En dash, 2.08 pt between them
- Columns
- One. No column split, and no risk of a misread reading order.
- Arrangement
- The plain stack. Nothing arranged, nothing drawn.
- Photo
- None.
- Accent
- #151a23, changeable in Design
- Colour
- Colour allowed. A mono printer greys the accent; the rules still carry the structure.
What it is for
Good at
- Cultural and institutional roles, where the document is read as part of the application and not scanned out of it.
- A page that will be printed and read properly rather than skimmed on a screen.
- Senior readers with the patience for a leading that leaves a line of air between every line.
- A small amount of content. At this measure there is room for maybe six entries and no more.
Bad at
- Screening, for the same reason as any large leading: a page you cannot skim is a page you skim past.
- A long career. Thirteen point with a 1.62 leading is roughly half the content of the default page.
- A parser, in the sense that a very large leading sometimes trips naive line-height assumptions in text extraction. The document says nothing about accuracy figures, and neither will this page.
- Readers who need a stack of tools on the page, because there is no line for one.
ATS profile
Clean
One column, no tables, no images, and a heading alone on its line. All the structural rules hold.
The type size and leading are the whole design, and neither is a structural risk. A text extractor reads lines of text and does not care how far apart they were set.
What is worth knowing is that a large leading can defeat a naive extractor that reconstructs paragraphs from line positions. The ATS guide covers why the guidance is about structure rather than typography.
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.
