About the Dotted resume design
Dotted uses a serif typeface with dotted rules under the header and headings, and dotted table borders, for a soft handwritten-form feel.
This page opens the builder with the Dotted design selected, so you can type your own details and watch them fill the layout. All 36 designs are available in the design box and your text is kept when you switch. Compare them on the resume templates page.
Who the Dotted design suits
- Teachers, tutors and creative educators
- Friendly, personal resumes
- Biodata and informal documents
When to choose another design
If the Dotted layout does not fit your job, try a plainer option from the ATS template guide or a bolder one from the modern template page.
- Strict corporate or technical roles
- Photocopying on low-quality machines, where dots may blur
