Typst Modern CV

A modern Curriculum Vitæ (CV) template with timelines

https://git.claudiomattera.it/claudiomattera/typst-modern-cv

This is a template for modern and good-looking CVs. It was inspired from LaTeX packages moderncv and moderntimeline.

Usage

First, import the package

#import "@local/modern-cv:0.1.0": conf, update_theme, draw_education, draw_experience, draw_publication, draw_entry, draw_language, draw_projects

Then setup page layout and document metadata.

#set document(
    title: "John Doe - Curriculum Vitæ",
    author: "John Doe",
)

#set page(
    paper: "a4",
    margin: (x: 1.5cm, y: 1.5cm),
)

Then configure the theme.

#update_theme(
    color: rgb("#377eb8"),
    base_date: datetime(year: 2013, month: 1, day: 1),
    current_date: datetime(year: 2024, month: 1, day: 1),
)

Then setup the document.

#show: doc => conf(
    fullname: "John Doe",
    address: "Southern Pole, Antarctica",
    phone: "[phone]",
    email: "[email protected]",
    website: "johndoe.aq",
    github: "johndoe",
    orcid: "0000-0000-0000-0000",

    doc,
)

Finally, typeset the rest of the document using the provided functions

#draw_education(
    start: datetime(year: 2015, month: 8, day: 1),
    end: datetime(year: 2019, month: 4, day: 1),
    title: "Ph. D. in Software Engineering",
    institution: "University of Antarctica",
    department: "Ice Caps Office",
    city: "Southern Pole",
    country: "Antarctica",
    url: "https://www.icecap.aq/",
)[
My topic was designing and implementing software solutions for estimating thickness in ice caps by analysing their transparency.
]

#draw_experience(
    start: datetime(year: 2021, month: 2, day: 1),
    finished: false,
    position: "Developer",
    company: "Southern Pole Express",
    city: "Southern Pole",
    country: "Antarctica",
    url: "https://www.southern-pole.aq/",
)[
I am in charge of the team leading excavation and extraction of samples from ice caps.
I use simulations to locate the areas where ice caps are thinner, in order to minimize the effort of excavation for reaching the bottom layers.
]

#draw_publication(
    date: datetime(year: 2018, month: 1, day: 1),
    title: "A Method for Analysing Transparency in Ice Caps by Shining Light into Them and Squinting your Eyes",
    doi: "10.0999/aq.123457",
)

The initial and final years will be shown as labels over the timeline. Custom labels can also be specified with the arguments label_start, label_end or label_date.

Configuration

The theme can be configured and customized by calling the function configure_theme and passing a dictionary with the following fields.

• color (color): The theme base color (default: blue).
• width (length): The width of right bars and timelines (default: 2cm).
• thickness (length): The thickness of right bars and timelines (default: 1.5mm).
• radius (length): The radius of rounded corners of timelines (default: 1pt).
• style (str): The theme style (default: "underline").
• base_date (datetime): The earliest date in all entries (default: datetime(year: 2005, month: 1, day: 1)).
• current_date (datetime): The latest date in all entries (default: datetime.today()).

All fields are optional; any field that is not specified will not be changed.

Styles

This template supports two styles: underline (default) and lighten.

• Style underline shows timelines as coloured intervals above gray underlines, such as the original LaTeX package moderntimeline.

  

• Style lighten shows timelines as coloured intervals over full, lightened intervals.

  

Fonts

This package uses Font Awesome for some icons.

Download the Free font pack for Desktop and place the .otf files in one of the directories where Typst looks for fonts (or add any directory to the environment variable TYPST_FONT_PATHS).
