Typst (en[1]) is an open-source typesetting system written in Rust. It is developed by Typst GmbH,[2] which maintains and supports the software's development. The Typst compiler is free software and is distributed under the Apache License 2.0 license.[3]
Typst is a markup language, similar to Markdown, "designed to be an alternative both to advanced tools like LaTeX and simpler tools like Word and Google Docs".[4] The language is easier to learn and use than LaTeX while still offering similar capabilities.[5][6] Its compiler is incremental through constrained memoization.[7]
Typst supports community-provided packages and templates. Typst Universe is a community-driven repository akin to CTAN.
Typst has native support for document export in PDF, PNG and SVG formats. In version 0.12.0, support for PDF/A-2b compliance was added.[8]
Typst documents are written in a text editor and compiled to produce output files such as PDF. A language server has been written for Typst.[9] Typst Gmbh also provides an online editor.[10] Alternatively, Typst has also been integrated into softwares, notably Quarto,[11] and Pandoc.[12]
Typst was created in 2022 by Laurenz Mädje and Martin Haug for their master thesis at Technische Universität Berlin.[13][14]
Zerodha adopted Typst for generating transactions records citing its ease of use and performance, transitioning from LuaLaTeX.[15]
