# ----- TOP TIER (Safe & Modern) -----
242+
# Inter: The "Silicon Valley Standard." Tall x-height makes it ultra-readable at small sizes (9pt).
243+
# Perfect for dense, keyword-heavy technical resumes. Clean, invisible, and professional.
244+
# Roboto: "Engineered & Geometric." Has straight-sided curves that feel mechanical and precise.
245+
# Excellent for data/infrastructure roles where you want to signal "structure" and "order."
246+
# Open Sans: The "Neutral Choice." Extremely legible, open shapes. It has zero "personality,"
247+
# which is good if you want the recruiter to focus 100% on the content. Safest bet.
248+
249+
# ----- SPACE SAVERS (If you need to fit more text) -----
250+
# Source Sans 3: Designed for UIs and coding. Slightly condensed width.
251+
# Use this if your resume is spilling onto a new page by just 2-3 lines.
252+
# Noto Sans: Similar to Open Sans but with better support for special characters and a slightly
253+
# tighter vertical rhythm. Good for maximizing vertical space.
254+
255+
# ----- PERSONALITY (If the resume feels too "cold") -----
256+
# Lato: "Humanist Sans." Semi-rounded details give it a friendly, approachable vibe.
257+
# Use this if you are applying to startups or culture-focused roles to sound less "corporate."
258+
# Raleway: (Use for HEADERS ONLY). Elegant and artistic. Too wide/distracting for body text,
259+
# but makes your Name/Title look very high-end.
260+
261+
# ----- ACADEMIC / TRADITIONAL (Use for Research/Senior Management) -----
262+
# Libertinus Serif: A modern take on Times New Roman. Looks very "Senior" and "Official."
263+
# Use this if applying to traditional banks, law firms, or PhD research roles.
264+
# EB Garamond: The "Classy" choice. Old-style serif. Looks like a book. High prestige, low "tech" vibe.
