Designer note: why Minimalist exists
Minimalist Single is the secular counterpart to Minimalist Traditional. Same restraint, no academic baggage. I send it to senior engineers, designers, and operators who want the resume to disappear into the content. Nothing on the page asks for your attention except your name and your sentences.
Bullets that read well in Minimalist
These are the kind of lines this template's spacing and typography were built for. The note under each explains why the rhythm fits.
Principal Engineer, [Open Source Foundation]. Designed and shipped the v2 storage layer. 14 contributors across 4 timezones. 11 enterprise deployments.
Minimalist Single's wide measure makes a multi-clause bullet readable. Two-column templates fight the cadence here.

Questions about the Minimalist template
How is it different from Crisp Single?
Crisp is for freshers and is tuned for density at 1 page. Minimalist is for senior candidates and holds at 2-3 pages with the same restraint.
