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.

- An accent block across the head of the narrow column, cut away on the diagonal
- A round portrait ringed in white, hanging across that cut
- Headings in small capitals in the accent, the one lettering used on the page
- A thin accent rule opening each heading in the wide column rather than underlining it
- Job entries reading `Role | Dates` on one bold line with the employer and city beneath
- The summary set under the name with no heading, so the page opens on the writing
