Had to nitpick on the monospaced font line. Proportional type preserves the shape of words which is a huge part of readability. I don't think I'd take a resume that looks like it was written in a code editor as a positive signal.

It's his fantasy world, so who are we to judge. As a gimmick I could appreciate and would definitely notice a resume printed with a dot matrix printer on pinfeed paper using Courier. But I would recommend everyone to just stick with a nice serif typeface.

I'm glad Apple brought fonts to the computer world as well.
