Resume Text. Three Sizes = Easy To Scan, Easy To Hire

You want 3 sizes of text on your résumé.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

BIG & DARKEST 🖊️
Your name. 2–3x bigger than the section headers.
Centered at the top. Pops off the page instantly.

MEDIUM & DARK 📄
Section headers. About 2x the regular text.
Work Experience. Education. Evidence You’re Human.
Left aligned. Guides the eyes.

REGULAR & LIGHTER ✍️
Everything else. Same size throughout.
Left aligned.

Big → Medium → Regular.
Darkest → Darker → Lightest.

That’s the hierarchy.
It shows them where to look.

Hiring managers don’t read résumés, they scan them.

This hierarchy makes scanning work in your favor.
