About the Lucid template
Lucid is a one-column resume that keeps colour almost entirely off the page. At the top left the initials sit one over the other in a black disc, split by a short white rule, and beside the disc the name runs large in a light grey sans over the contact details, each led by its label in bold, the address on one line and the phone and email sharing the next. Every heading, a section the writer adds included, is its label in a small grey sans centred between two thin grey rules that run out to the margins. The profile is one serif paragraph. Each role hangs beside a narrow margin of its dates with the city beneath them, the job title in bold over the employer in bold, then the duties as plain lines with no bullets, and each degree reads the same way. It suits an engineer, an analyst or any experienced specialist whose history should do the talking.
