Sienna: warm resume template with a display serif
Warm paper with terracotta labels and a display serif name. Brand, content and comms roles.
Sienna is one of 22 free résumé templates in PaperKit, the no-login résumé builder from CodeSierra. It is free to use and free to download as a PDF (no account, no watermark and nothing to pay) and it prints to A4 or US Letter. Sienna is a showcase layout, so send it where a person reads your résumé first and keep an ATS-safe template for job portals. You fill it in as a form with the real PDF rendering beside you, and switching to any other template carries your content across untouched.

Pick Sienna if…
- Your work is about voice and you want the page to have one.
- You are applying to agencies, publishers or consumer brands.
- You want warmth without looking like a template.
What to know before you send it
- Tinted paper
- Low-contrast label colour
- Display serif at large sizes can garble in OCR
- Applying through a job portal as well? Keep an ATS-first template for that copy: switching costs nothing.
How much fits on one page
The display serif name runs large and the terracotta labels sit on warm paper, both of which want space. Sienna holds three or four roles on a page. Like Ashford, it is built to be looked at rather than packed.
When to use something else
The low-contrast terracotta labels and the tinted paper are the two things that hurt most in OCR and photocopying. If the resume will be scanned or forwarded as a copy of a copy, Ledger holds its contrast.
Sienna works well for these roles
Each example comes with profession-specific bullets you can edit in place.
Questions about Sienna
- Is the Sienna resume template free?
- Yes. Sienna is free: no login, no watermark and nothing to pay at the download step. You can edit it in your browser and download the PDF straight away. Every PaperKit template is free the same way, in all four makers: there is no premium set and nothing to unlock.
- Is Sienna ATS-friendly?
- Sienna is a Showcase layout: it uses tinted paper and a photo slot, which some applicant tracking systems parse poorly. Use it when a person will read your resume first, and switch to an ATS-first template for automated applications: your content carries over.
- Can I switch away from Sienna later?
- Yes. Templates are a design layer over your content, so you can change template at any point inside the editor without retyping or losing a single line.
