About the Axis template
Axis is built around a single vertical rule that runs the whole height of the page. The name sits centred above it in large light capitals over a wide-spaced subtitle, and beneath it a narrow column of contact, education, skills and interests is set flush against the rule from the right while the summary and work history fill the wide column on the other side. Job entries borrow the section heading one size down, so each role reads as a heading with its employer and dates on the line under it.

- A single rule running the full height of the page between the two columns
- The narrow column set flush right against that rule, headings included
- A centred name in large light capitals over a wide-spaced subtitle
- Headings in wide-spaced capitals over a pale rule the width of their column
- Roles set as headings in the same spaced capitals, with employer and dates beneath
- Lists in the narrow column run without bullets, which would hang outside the ragged edge
