Who the Ink & Type template is for
Ink & Type suits designers, writers, marketers and portfolio-led applicants at studios and agencies. Editorial typographic layout inspired by print design. Ideal for journalists, writers, and content strategists.
Why this layout works
Expressive layout with deliberate structure — distinctive enough to be memorable, still ordered enough to be read quickly.
ATS performance
Ink & Type scores 75/100 in NextCV's ATS analyser. It favours presentation slightly more than the strictest ATS layouts, which suits roles where a human reads first.
Its 75/100 puts it second of the 3 creative templates, just behind Design Portfolio at 80. Across the full 29-template library that is a mid-table score — deliberate, since this layout prioritises how it looks to a person.
Pricing
Ink & Type is free. There is no trial, no export limit and no watermark on the PDF — build it, export it and apply.
Tip for the Creative format
Always include a portfolio URL near your contact details. For creative roles the work is the argument; the CV is the index to it.
Use the live ATS score while editing rather than at the end; fixing structure early is far quicker than reworking a finished draft.
