Monarch resume template
Monarch makes a statement at the top: a heavy Playfair Display name with a short, thick accent bar underneath, and serif section titles to match. The body switches to Source Serif 4 for comfortable reading, and bullets use an em dash. It is editorial and confident rather than traditional.

Monarch template questions
Is a display serif readable for a whole page?
Only your name and the headings use Playfair Display. The body is Source Serif 4, a serif designed for reading at text sizes.
Monarch or Bold?
Both give the name presence. Monarch does it with a serif and reads as editorial; Bold uses a heavy sans and reads as more direct.
