The layout
- Single column, heavy white space, golden-ratio spacing
- Montserrat capitals for section headings
- Crimson Text serif for the body
- Minimal rules, typographic rather than decorative
Where it comes from
Sextant is based on the “minimal” template from resumake.io, which in turn comes from Michael Tse's minimal-resume style, a design tuned for whitespace balance, with a golden-ratio size scale.
Its signature is the type pairing: Montserrat, Julieta Ulanovsky's geometric sans (drawn from old Buenos Aires signage), for the capitalized headings, over Crimson Text, Sebastian Kosch's old-style book serif, for the body. Both are open fonts.
It's the most design-forward template here while staying single-column and ATS-safe.

How it parses
The polish is purely typographic. It's still one column of selectable text, so parsers read it cleanly. A design-conscious pick that stays ATS-safe.
