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 Sienna as a CV
Sienna 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 Sienna the right choice?
Who it suits
Writing, editorial and design work — the italic serif name in burnt orange is the most distinctive header here that still belongs on a resume.
What it does to ATS parsing
Single column with the contacts gridded beside the name. Nothing unusual reaches the parser.
At two pages
Comfortable. The serif face and the hairline headings both carry length.
Use something else if
Terrazzo for the same colour with labels in the margin, or Chronicle if the italic is too much.
