Not every field wants a colourful, modern resume. Law, finance, academia, executive search and other traditional industries still reward a classic serif document — and this template delivers exactly that. Set in a refined Times-style serif, it feels established and considered, with even spacing and understated headings that carry seniority without decoration.
It is typeset with real LaTeX, so the serif typography and justified rhythm stay crisp at any length, and you never touch the markup. Fill in a form — experience, education, skills and any custom section — pick your heading colour, and Lampzi compiles the PDF for you.
It works as a polished one-page executive resume or a longer traditional CV, and stays single-column so Applicant Tracking Systems parse it cleanly.
