About the Margin template
Margin puts its headings where a book puts its notes. A narrow rail runs down the left of the page carrying nothing but the initials, drawn in a thin accent square at the top, and the section headings beneath them in small accent capitals ranged right against the gutter. The content column beside the rail is left as one uninterrupted measure, opening with the name in large grey capitals over a contact line separated by pipes.

- The candidate initials in a thin accent square at the head of the rail
- Section headings in the left margin, right-aligned so a heading that wraps still reads as one block
- A pipe-separated contact line under the name instead of icons
- Job rows that read `Role | Employer, City` with the dates ranged right
- Education entries that open with the school and put the degree beneath it
- Skills in two bulleted columns across the content measure
