Typst (/taɪpst/[1]) is an open-source typesetting system. It is officially developed by Typst GmbH[2], also promoting said software. Typst is a markup language, similar to Markdown, and is designed as an alternative to LaTeX, Microsoft Word, and Google Docs[3].

The language is intended to be easier, faster to use and learn than LaTeX while still offering similar capabilities[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The Typst compiler is incremental through constrained memoization[11].

Typst can be extended by community-provided packages and templates to provide additional features[12]. Similarly to CTAN, Typst Universe provides a central repository for the community.

Typst can natively export documents in PDF, PNG and SVG formats. In version 0.12.0, support for PDF/A-2b compliance was added[13]. It was first developed for Haug and Mädje's master thesis[14][15].

Creating a document in Typst typically requires a text editor, first creating and editing a file, then compiling it. Typst Gmbh also provides an official online editor[16]. Alternatively, Typst has also been integrated into softwares[17][18], notably Quarto (software)[19][20][21], Pandoc[22].

Typst has been used by Zerodha to produce transactions records, migrating their generation pipeline system from LaTeX to Typst[23].

Example

A simple document might look like this:

Input Output 
= Typst
Typst is an open-source typesetting engine based on a markdown-like syntax and written in Rust. It is intended to be easier to use and faster to learn than LaTeX while still offering similar capabilities.

$ E_0 = m c^2 $
$ E = (m c^2)/sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2) $
