Best Fonts for Resumes
Don't use Comic Sans. Just don't.
Top Picks
- Helvetica / Arial: Clean, safe, and universally readable.
- Garamond: Elegant and timeless, great for academic CVs.
- Calibri: Modern and soft, often the default for a reason.
- Roboto: Tech-focused and crisp.
- Open Sans: Friendly and open.
Once you pick a font, always Convert to PDF to "lock" it in, so it looks the same on the recruiter's screen.
