Elegant resume template
Elegant pairs a large Cormorant Garamond name with EB Garamond body text, small-caps section titles and italic details. A thin accent rule under the header is the only ornament. It reads like a well-set book page, which suits roles where taste and writing are part of the job.

Elegant template questions
Is Elegant too decorative for an ATS?
The decoration is typography only: one column, no tables, no images and plain-text headings. Run the finished file through the resume checker if you want to confirm.
How much fits on one page?
Less than in a dense layout, because of the wide margins and larger type. If your history is long, Compact or Brief will keep the page count down.
