About this template

Regent is CVEdge's most traditional template: a warm cream page, a centred serif name, small-caps section headings and hairline rules between sections. Nothing competes with the content. It reads like the letterhead of an established firm, which is exactly the signal senior candidates in law, finance and consulting want to send.

The layout is single column, so it parses cleanly through Workday, Greenhouse and iCIMS while still looking considered when a partner prints it. Experience entries lead with the role, put dates on the right, and use an em-dash marker for bullets so quantified outcomes read as a list of decisions rather than tasks.

Regent applies its own typography when picked: EB Garamond body, centred header, dot-separated contact line and a regular-weight name. You can override any of them in the Design tab, but the defaults are tuned so a director-level CV looks finished the moment it is uploaded.

Pair it with the AI summary rewrite: the italic summary block is the first thing a reader sees, and Regent gives it room to make a two-sentence case for the candidate.

Who is this template for?

  • Partners, directors and VPs in law, finance and consulting
  • Senior professionals in established, conservative industries
  • Board and advisory candidates
  • Anyone who wants a classic printed feel without a photo

Questions about this template

Is Regent ATS-safe with the cream background?+

Yes. The background is a page colour, not an image or a table. The text is standard single-column, so parsers read it exactly as they read Classic. The colour only affects how it looks on screen and in print.

Can I switch Regent to a sans-serif font?+

Yes. Regent sets EB Garamond as its default body font, but the Design tab lets you pick any of the four font families. The name, italic summary and section headings keep their serif identity so the template still reads as Regent.
