What defines this layout
- Serif typeface
- Single column
- No photo
- Headings with no 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 Cornice as a CV
Cornice works as a British or Australian CV as it stands, where CV and resume name the same two-page document. The second column is the thing to check before sending: copy the text out of the exported PDF and confirm it reads in a sensible order.
It is set loose, so a CV running to the usual two pages will fill them comfortably — tighten the spacing in Customize if you need a third page's worth on two.
More on the differences: CV templates and CV examples.
Is Cornice the right choice?
Who it suits
Senior applications in traditional fields. A widely letterspaced serif name with a lot of room under it reads as seniority rather than decoration.
What it does to ATS parsing
Two columns. The letter-spacing is a style, not inserted characters, so the name extracts intact.
At two pages
Loose, so a long history will run over — and it reads well when it does.
Use something else if
Alabaster for an even quieter version, or Cameo for something tighter.
