Typst () is an open-source typesetting system and corresponding markup language. The Typst compiler is free software and is distributed under the Apache License 2.0 license.
The system is designed for writing and formatting scientific texts and mathematical formulas. Typst supports simple formatting for common formatting applications, customizable functions, an integrated scripting language, and mathematical typesetting. It is designed to be an alternative to LaTeX.
The compiler is developed by Typst GmbH, which maintains and supports the software's development, and operates a proprietary collaborative cloud-based editor, offering both free and paid services in a manner similar to Overleaf, which allows users to preview their work while writing and includes a collaboration feature.
Typst has been developed since 2019 and was first published in 2022 by Laurenz Mädje and Martin Haug for their master's theses at Technische Universität Berlin. In March 2023, the Typst compiler was released as open-source, and the beta version of its web app was simultaneously announced. As of 2025, the web app is out of beta.
