What Minimal does well

  • Large, thin-weight name with a single line of contact details beneath
  • Section headings in small, spaced-out capitals in pale grey
  • No lines, boxes or accent colour anywhere on the page
  • Skills laid out as rows, category on the left and items on the right
  • One-inch margins and relaxed line spacing

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 Minimal.

How Minimal is laid out

Minimal sets one column on A4 inside one-inch margins and uses spacing rather than lines to separate sections. A large light-weight name and one line of contact details lead into the summary; small grey capitals then label work experience, education, skills, projects and awards, and bullets are marked with pale dashes.

Who it suits

  • Writers, editors and researchers who want the words to carry the page
  • Two or three strong roles that have no need to be squeezed
  • CVs that will mostly be sent as a PDF and read on screen

Good to know

  • The headings are small and pale grey, so they can fade on a weak printer or a photocopy.
  • Your LinkedIn URL has nowhere to go in this header; Meridian pairs a similarly light name with a LinkedIn slot and a teal accent.
  • It fits less than most templates, so a long CV will run to two pages or more.
