Modern resume templates
Sans-serif typefaces and contemporary hierarchy — the look technology, product and startup hiring reads as current. Modern here means type and spacing rather than decoration a parser cannot read.

What actually reads as modern
Mostly typeface and spacing, not ornament. A sans-serif face, generous line height, clear separation between sections and a restrained accent colour will read as current in any industry. A resume that looks dated is usually a serif face set tight with underlined headings — not one that lacks a skills chart.
Worth saying because the templates marketed hardest as modern are the ones carrying infographic elements: proficiency meters, timelines, circular ratings. Those parse worst and communicate least. A five-dot meter beside "Python" tells a reader nothing; one bullet describing what you built with it tells them everything.
Common questions
Are modern resume templates ATS-friendly?
Typography is irrelevant to a parser — sans and serif extract identically. What matters is column count and whether the text is real. The single-column templates here are as safe as anything on the site; run the copy-paste check on the two-column ones.
Is a sans-serif resume acceptable in a conservative field?
A clean sans-serif layout is safe almost everywhere now, including finance and law. What still reads as out of place is heavy use of colour, a photo where local convention is against one, and anything resembling an infographic.
