Set the type on your CV

Until now a CV’s look came almost entirely from the template you picked. The only thing you could change was the page margins. So when a CV ran three lines onto a second page, the fix was to switch templates and lose the layout you wanted.

The Settings tab in the CV workspace now has a Typography block with the three adjustments people actually reach for:

  • Font — Libertinus Serif, or one of three faces matched to what recruiters and CV-scanning software expect: Tinos (Times New Roman), Liberation Sans (Arial), Carlito (Calibri).
  • Font size — 8.5 to 12 points, half a point at a time. Headings and your name scale with it, so the CV keeps its shape.
  • Line height — Compact, Standard, Relaxed, or Loose.

Each one is optional. Leave it on Template default and the template decides, exactly as before — so nothing about your existing CVs has changed, and switching templates still changes everything you have not set yourself. One button clears all three.

The preview in the middle re-paginates as you go, so you can watch that second page disappear rather than guessing and downloading a PDF to check.

The margin controls got rebuilt in the same pass. They link the two axes — side margins, top-and-bottom — with the four individual sides one click away, and they no longer overflow their column when the panel is narrow.
