Typeface impacts resume application

It is true that the resume application is of possibility to be influenced by the typeface and the fonts used.

Resumes play an important role when applying for a job.
Unfortunately, many applicants focus only on the content of the resume and not
the physical appearance. The typeface chosen to display the resume not only
influences the physical appearance, but also influences how an employer may
view the applicant. In this study, resumes displayed in a high appropriate
typeface (Corbel), resulted in the applicant being perceived as more
knowledgeable, mature, experienced, professional, believable, and trustworthy
than when displayed in a neutral typeface (Tempus Sans) or low appropriate
typeface (Vivaldi). Moreover, the applicant was more likely to be called for an
interview when their resume was displayed in a high appropriate typeface than
a neutral or low appropriate typeface.
