About the Legend template
Legend is a serif one-column resume on a white page with no photo, whose head is a framed box with the name set on its top rule, the way a fieldset carries its legend. The job title sits in small spaced capitals under the name inside the frame, the profile fills the rest of it as a justified paragraph, and a rounded bar of the accent beneath carries the contact details in one row, each value in white after a small gold icon, with a darker curved shadow under the bar. Every section, one the writer adds included, opens on the section icon inside an outlined rounded square, its label in spaced capitals, and a thin rule running to the right edge where a small disc closes it. The skills read as four plain columns of names, a role is its title in bold over the employer with the dates in gold italics at the left of a line and the city at its right, then bullets marked with gold discs, and a section the writer adds sets its items two abreast as a title over an italic line. It suits a salesperson, an account manager or anyone in a client-facing role who wants a traditional serif page with two quiet colours and a distinct head.
