What defines this layout
- Serif typeface
- Single column
- No photo
- Headings over a full-width rule
- Dates right-aligned against each role
Every one of these is a setting, not a constraint — accent colour, font, size, spacing and page margins stay yours under Customize, and switching template later re-renders what you’ve written rather than starting it over.
Using Colophon as a CV
Colophon is a single serif column with no photo, which is the closest thing here to an academic CV: the format that runs to as many pages as your publications, grants and teaching need. It is equally a British CV as it stands, where the document is a two-page career summary rather than a complete record.
It sits at a normal density, which lands most histories on the two pages a non-academic CV is expected to fit.

Is Colophon the right choice?
Who it suits
Serif applications that want one modern element. Metered skills under a letterspaced centred name is an unusual combination and a good one.
What it does to ATS parsing
Single column with drawn meter bars. Skill names extract; levels do not.
At two pages
Comfortable; the ruled header and the serif face both help.
Use something else if
Cameo for listed skills, or Terracotta for something bolder.
