About the Lichen template
Lichen is a plain one-column resume on a white page, set in Work Sans with the name and headings in Lato. The name opens the page centred in large spaced capitals with the job title beneath it in spaced letters, then the phone, email and address run along one centred line divided by thin grey bars, and a profile link sits under them in a pale sage pill led by a link glyph. Every heading, a section the writer adds included, is a pale sage band the full width of the page with softly rounded corners and its label centred in spaced dark capitals. A role reads on one bold line, title, employer, city and dates divided by bars, with its duties as small square bullets beneath; a degree reads the award, school, city and years on one bold line with its own square bullets. The skills run along a single row, each after a small hollow ring, and the page closes on a references line. It suits an accountant, an analyst or anyone in finance who wants a calm, orderly page that reads top to bottom without a second column.
