What Elegant does well
- Centred name and contact line, with the summary set in italics beneath
- Section headings marked by a vertical bar instead of an underline
- One accent, a dark slate blue, used for the name, headings and employers
- Skill groups in outlined boxes, two per row
- Wide margins and a clear gap between sections

- Content
- Written for the posting you paste in
Upload your CV and paste a job posting. The Studio writes the content for that role, scores it against the posting, and lays it out in Elegant.
How Elegant is laid out
Wide margins frame a single sans-serif column on A4. Name and contact details are centred above an italic summary and a slate rule; each section then opens with an uppercase heading beside a thick vertical bar, roles show the title, employer and dates, and skills appear as a two-column grid of outlined boxes.
Who it suits
- Consulting, finance and legal applications where colour should stay to one dark tone
- Candidates whose summary is their strongest section and deserves setting apart
- A handful of skill groups that fit neatly into boxes
- Anyone who wants a centred, formal header without switching to a serif typeface
Good to know
- Elegant leaves out LinkedIn and the location of each job. Plush uses the same vertical-bar headings and shows both.
- A long passage in italics is tiring to read, so keep the summary to three or four lines.
