About this template
The Minimal Air template is a breathable layout in Inter on pure-white paper, single column with extra-wide line spacing and oversized margins. Headings are quiet, dates align right and every block has air around it — designed to read calm even on a dense profile. It is the exact opposite of the « fill the page » CV: here, the air around the blocks is part of the message.
Who is it for?
It fits senior profiles in design (Editorial Designer, Art Director, Brand Designer), product (Senior Product Manager, Director of Product, VP Product), research (Senior UX Researcher, Research Director) and editorial (Editor-in-Chief, Publishing Director) who want a CV that reads as carefully composed white space. Best for cases where the experience is dense — 15 to 25 years — and the goal is to slow the eye down rather than cram more information into the page.
How to use it
Do not try to fill the page: breathing is the template's signature. Three to five roles over two pages, each with a clear title and two or three quantified bullets. The right-aligned dates serve as visual anchors — keep the same format (MM/YYYY) throughout the document. The opening summary can run four lines here — the space allows it. For an editorial designer or art director, add three or four project links at the bottom rather than a long list.
Frequently asked questions
Does the template fit on one page?
No by design. The airy format targets two pages and the one-page version breaks the typographic rhythm that defines the document's identity. If you need a one-page version, switch to pure Minimal or Minimal Microtype, both denser.
Is it suitable for a junior profile?
Rarely. Early-career profiles often lack the experience volume that justifies the generous spacing, and the CV looks empty. For a junior, prefer Minimal Thin Rule. From 8 to 10 years of experience, Minimal Air becomes relevant.
Print or stick to PDF?
Both work, but on-screen rendering is superior. For printing, use heavier paper stock (100 gsm minimum) to preserve the white quality. Many creative and product recruiters now read exclusively in PDF on large screens — the template's native context.
