> Brilliant CV is a free, open-source portfolio template. Another CV template for your job application, yet powered by Typst and more. It has 844 GitHub stars and is released under the Apache-2.0 license. A live demo is linked from this page.

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, nonlatinfont, [lang. ], injectaiprompt, …) and their v4 replacements.
