About the Claret template
Claret caps its narrow left column with a block of the accent that is cut away on the diagonal, high on the right and low on the left, and hangs a round portrait ringed in white across that cut. Contact, education and the skills run down the column beneath it, while the name opens the wide column in large accent capitals over a summary carrying no heading of its own. Every heading on the page is written in small capitals in the accent, and in the wide column each one is opened by a thin accent rule above it rather than underlined.
