Brilliant CV

A modern, modular, and feature-rich CV template for Typst.

v4 is a breaking change. Coming from v3? See the Migration Guide for the v3 fields that now panic with a migration message (language, non_latin_font, [lang.<code>], inject_ai_prompt, …) and their v4 replacements.

✨ Key Features

• Profile-based variants — Each profile_<name>/ is a complete, self-contained CV. Switch with --input profile=fr at compile time. No language whitelist; any script (CJK, Arabic, Hebrew, …) is configurable via [layout.fonts].
• Optional ATS keyword injection — Opt-in hidden keyword text for automated screeners, marked as a PDF artifact so screen readers skip it. Off by default: some screening systems detect and penalize hidden text, so read the notes in metadata.toml before enabling, and keep keywords truthful.
• Pixel-perfect tested — 40+ tests run inside a Linux Docker baseline; layout regressions can't slip past CI.

Quick Start

typst init @preview/brilliant-cv

Using Typst Web? Upload the Font Awesome 7 Free desktop OTF files (Regular,
Solid, and Brands) to your project so the contact icons render correctly.

Edit profile_en/metadata.toml and the content modules in profile_en/*.typ — it's the most heavily annotated profile. To add a new variant, copy the directory and tweak the fields that differ.

typst compile cv.typ                    # default profile
typst compile cv.typ --input profile=fr # switch profile at compile time
