About the Contour template
Contour is a serif CV template on a white page: the name is set large in Lora, the job title and contact line follow in the same face, and every section heading is a line of letter-spaced capitals in a muted plum-grey. Company names, languages and interests take the plum accent, while body text and tags use Lato. Skills are written inline after bold group labels, languages are arranged in two columns and interests in three, so the page reads like a printed article rather than a form. No photo, bars or icons appear by default; the only ornament is a ribbon of thin wavy lines sweeping across the lower right of the page.
Colours in Contour are fixed, and the design has no skill bars or language bars, which makes it a text-first document for writers, editors, translators, academics and anyone applying by post or through systems that reward plain structure. It is the free alternative to Sage and Lex, both of which add rules and gold or olive accents. The template is free.
