Gentlewoman — literary single-page CV

A CV that reads like a profile piece in a small literary magazine. Hero serif, italic kickers, generous leading. The accent is oxblood, not red. The body is a paragraph, not a list. The drop-cap is non-negotiable.

Container

• A4 single column, 22mm margins.
• Warm-paper background (slightly more saturated than kinfolk).

Header

• Name in Libre Baskerville, 44pt, weight 700.
• Italic tagline under the name, small caps oxblood.
• Headline in Source Sans, restrained.

Summary

• Drop-cap on first letter. Oxblood, three lines tall, serif.
• Body in 12pt Source Sans, line-height 1.65.

Sections

• Kicker-rule variant — oxblood rule above small-caps title.
• Pull-quote inserted after the experience section, centred, italic, with

hairline rules above and below.

Experience

• Paragraph variant — no bullets. Each role is a short paragraph. The

role-line uses italic for the company name and small caps for the period.

Skills

• Comma-prose, not pills — fits the literary register.

Anti-patterns

• Never use cool colours.
• Never use a sans-serif heading font.
• Never use bulleted experience items.
• Never use a sidebar.
• Never use pure white paper.
