About the Spine template
Spine runs a narrow strip of the accent down the left edge of the page and hangs every section on one continuous rail beside it, with each role and each degree marked by a dot and its date range set in the strip in white, level with the dot. Every section opens with its icon in a filled accent disc on the rail and its title in bold accent type beside it, and a section with no dated entries still marks the rail with a single dot where its list begins. The head of the page sets the name in large bold accent type over the contact details beside accent discs and the profile. It suits an early-career applicant who wants a page that reads as a timeline without a sidebar taking a third of it.
