I learned of this project this morning and find it very interesting. I haven’t been able to use the software, but the master’s thesis on the project is very good reading.

“funded by the European Union (European Social Fund) and the State of Berlin” — ah, to imagine the US and California governments funding open-source typesetting software.

@mbutterick — Have you tried or looked at Typst at all since this post? Curious what your thoughts are on it as a type expert.

If I’m not mistaken, typst is only able to output PDF, though.
