Designer note: why Polished exists
Polished is the safe choice for a senior corporate candidate who needs a two-column resume that isn't quite as conservative as Formal but more business-ready than Modern. Slightly heavier type weight on the section headers, tighter gutters than Professional. It looks like the resume someone polished - not someone built.
Bullets that read well in Polished
These are the kind of lines this template's spacing and typography were built for. The note under each explains why the rhythm fits.
Senior Director, [Fortune 500 Tech]. Led a 60-person org across 3 platforms. Owned a $24M T&E budget and 12 senior IC headcount.
Polished's tighter gutters and slightly heavier headers let senior-corporate bullets land with more authority than Professional's neutral treatment.

Questions about the Polished template
How much does the typography difference actually matter?
Honestly less than the content. If your content is strong, Professional works fine. Polished is for cases where you want every layer to be as good as it can be.
