What sets it apart

Largest name in the set

Your name is set at 31 pt bold, larger than in any other Twin CV design. Under it run the job title from your latest role, in spaced-out accent capitals, and a quiet grey contact line.
One line, lots of air

A thin accent line runs down the left edge of every page, the only decoration. Headings sit under a short accent dash, in spaced-out capitals, with generous room around them.
Dates kept to the right

Each entry opens with the job title in bold, the years flush right on the same line and the employer in grey below. The role leads, and the dates stay out of its way.

Who it suits

Graduates and early-career candidates with a one-page CV
Writers, designers and others who like a calm, type-led page
Anyone who wants their name to be seen first

How an ATS reads it

Lineage reads in one column and has no photo. Skill and language levels are words, so a parser picks up the level along with the name, and all text is real text. The catch is letter-spacing: the section headings and the job title under your name are spaced out letter by letter, which some parsers misread. For a strict online portal, Plain ATS carries the same content without it.

FAQ

Questions about Lineage

A visitor asks a question at a help desk and the twin robot answers it

Is Lineage a good choice for a short CV?

Yes, it suits one well. The big name, open margins and the space around each heading make a page with two or three roles look intentional rather than thin. Longer careers work too: sections flow on to page 2, where page numbers begin.

Do Lineage's letter-spaced headings cause ATS problems?

They can with some parsers. The headings and the job title under your name are stored with a space between the letters, so a parser may see single letters, not a word. Your latest job title also appears normally under experience. Headline is one column without letter-spacing.

How does Lineage show skill levels?

As words. Each skill is followed by its level in brackets, for example Figma (Expert), on one line separated by small dots; languages work the same way. Because the level is text, a parser reads it too. You can still hide either in Options.
