Template 29 of 59
Terminal
Courier throughout, ruled like a printout, with a heavy rule under the header. It is the one preset in the set set in a monospaced face, and that is either the clearest signal you can send or a mistake depending on the room.
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
- 0.5 in on all four sides
- Body
- 10.22 pt, 1.3 line height

- Name
- 19.94 pt
- Section headings
- Title case, 12.76 pt, over a 1.08 pt rule
- Section gap
- 10 pt. Entry gap 5.11 pt.
- Bullets
- En dash, 1.64 pt between them
- Columns
- One. No column split, and no risk of a misread reading order.
- Arrangement
- heavy rule under the header.
- Photo
- None.
- Accent
- #065f46, forced to near-black by the print-safe setting
- Colour
- Print-safe. No fills, no hue, hairlines thickened for toner.
What it is for
Good at
- Systems, infrastructure and data roles, where a monospaced page is a legible signal about how you think.
- Documents that are mostly structured facts: hosts, versions, counts, dates.
- Print, where Courier is a system font on every machine and a ruled mono page photocopies cleanly.
- A reader who is technical and is enjoying the joke, which is a real thing in the field.
Bad at
- Anything that extracts text into a fixed-width field. Monospace is the one face where a naive extractor's character-count guess is right and its word-boundary guess is wrong, because every gap is the same width.
- A dense page. Courier is wide and short, and the density this preset asks for is a real readability cost.
- A first impression with a non-technical reader, who will read the face as "I type in a terminal" rather than "I build systems".
- Colour printing, where the accent is the only thing on the page that is not black.
ATS profile
Clean
Structurally it is plain: one column, no tables, no images, and a heading alone on its line. The face is Courier and the rules are borders.
It is marked a caution rather than a clean pass for a reason worth being honest about. A monospaced face has no word-boundary cues, and an extractor that reconstructs words by measuring gaps is measurably worse at it. This is a known weakness of naive extractors rather than a published failure rate, and no vendor publishes a figure.
If that risk matters more than the signal, compact is the same density in a proportional face.
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.
