What defines this layout
- Serif typeface
- Two columns with a dark rail
- Includes an avatar or 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 Marquee as a CV
Marquee carries a photo, which is what a continental European CV expects alongside the personal details a British one leaves out. For the UK, Ireland or Australia, turn the photo off in Customize — the layout closes up around it and the rest of the page is unchanged.
It sits at a normal density, which lands most histories on the two pages a non-academic CV is expected to fit.

Is Marquee the right choice?
Who it suits
Creative applications with real presence. A display serif on cream against a near-black rail is the most theatrical page here.
What it does to ATS parsing
Two columns with a filled rail on the right. Check the extracted order.
At two pages
Heavy to print, and the rail stops after the first page.
Use something else if
Monolith for a sans version, or Arcadia for the same serif without the rail.
