Graphite resume template
Monochrome ink with accent bars. Sharp, structured, engineer-ready.
Who the Graphite design suits
Graphite suits software, data, IT, hardware and manufacturing engineers who want a structured page with no colour to distract. Monochrome bars and boxes feel exact, and printed copies look the same as the screen version. It is a sound default for anyone in a technical field unsure which design to choose.
How the page is laid out
Graphite is one column in IBM Plex Sans. The name is heavy and near-black, the title muted grey, with contact details in an icon row. Each heading has a short black bar, an icon tile and black, widely spaced capitals, with no rule. Skills and project tags are small grey boxes with fine borders, grouped by area, and languages use black dots. No colour appears anywhere on the page.
How it reads to an ATS
Graphite reads straight down in one column, with headings parsers recognise and skills as plain words inside boxes. Since it relies on nothing but black ink, it scans and photocopies cleanly. For keyword matching, mirror the exact tool names used in the job advert inside the skill groups.
