Every template brings its own typeface, size scale, weights, and spacing. That's a design decision baked into the template, not a setting you adjust.
Why there's no font picker
Type is most of what makes a resume look considered or look thrown together. The size relationship between your name, your section headings, your job titles, and your body text is what a reader's eye uses to navigate the page in the first few seconds.
Hand-tuning that per field is how resumes end up with eleven-point headings, nine-point body text, and no visual hierarchy at all. Each of our templates has one typographic system, set once, applied consistently.
If you want a different look, switch templates. That's the control — and it's a real one, because designs differ meaningfully in type.
Switching designs changes more than color
A different template can genuinely change how much text fits on a page. Two designs at the same nominal size can differ in line height, margins, and how tightly sections stack.
So if you switch and your resume suddenly runs to a second page — or suddenly has room to spare — that's expected. Check the preview after switching. See fix spacing and page breaks.
What you can control
- Which template you use, which sets the entire type system.
- How much you write, which is the real lever on density.
- Where things break, by editing content until the preview lands well.
What we won't offer
We won't add a font-size control to squeeze a long resume onto one page. Shrinking type is the change that makes a resume harder to read on the fast first pass that decides most outcomes — and cluttered, cramped layouts are exactly what performed worst in recruiter eye-tracking work. If your resume is too long, the fix is fewer words. See how long should your resume be?
Why your PDF can look slightly different from a browser preview
Preview and PDF are produced by the same engine, so they should match. Where a difference shows up, it's normally a font-loading edge case — the formats a browser prefers and the formats the document renderer needs aren't identical, so a template's typeface can resolve differently in one place than the other.
