Designer note: why Impact exists
Impact's whole design move is the name treatment at the top — three sizes bigger than the body, in a heavy serif. The rest of the template is conventional two-column. It's the template you reach for when your name is the credential — repeat founder, well-known industry figure, or someone whose recognition does the screening work.
Bullets that read well in Impact
These are the kind of lines this template's spacing and typography were built for. The note under each explains why the rhythm fits.
Founder & CEO, [Company] (2018-2024). Acquired by [Acquirer], 2024. Built and exited 2 prior companies (combined enterprise value: $340M).
Three credentials, one paragraph. Impact's column width and serif body let this read as a thesis statement rather than a job listing.

Questions about the Impact template
What if my name isn't recognisable in my industry yet?
Then Impact will feel like overclaiming. Modern Two or Professional Two read more honest at that career stage.
