Creative Serif résumé template
An editorial serif résumé template for design and marketing, on an ATS-safe structure.
Creative Serif sets a centred serif header with letter-spaced small-caps section titles — an editorial look closer to a magazine masthead than a form.
The structure underneath is deliberately conventional: one column, standard sections, real selectable text. You get the typographic personality without giving up parseability.

Questions about the Creative Serif template
Is an editorial template risky for applicant tracking systems?
The risk with expressive templates is usually structural — multiple columns, text in boxes, headings drawn as images. This template has none of those. The personality is entirely in the typeface and heading treatment, over a single-column layout with conventional section names.
Is the Creative Serif template ATS-friendly?
Yes. Text is drawn as real, selectable text rather than an image, so applicant tracking systems can parse it. Every template uses conventional section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) and exports to both PDF and DOCX, which are the two formats job applications normally accept. If you want the most conservative possible structure, the ATS-Max template is single column with no rules, tags or colour blocks at all.
Can I switch templates after I start writing?
Yes, at any time. The template is stored separately from your résumé content, so switching only changes the design — nothing is reordered, rewritten or lost. You can move between all templates from the builder toolbar and watch the page count update as you go.
Does it support non-English characters?
Yes. Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic and Chinese/Japanese/Korean text all render in both the on-screen preview and the exported PDF, with right-to-left scripts laid out in the correct direction.
