Fonts

Text Fonts

By default, this template uses the Fira Sans and Noto Sans fonts.

If you use the template through the webapp (https://typst.app), you don’t need to do anything.

If you want to use it locally instead, you will need to install these fonts on your system to use the template with its defaults. You have a few options for this:

• Use fontist to install the fonts automatically:

  fontist manifest-install manifest.yml
  fontist fontconfig update
  

• Download the fonts manually and install them in your system’s font directory:
  • Fira Sans
  • Noto Sans
• (Linux) Install them via your package manager, as most distributions provide these fonts in their repositories.

Icon Fonts

This template uses FontAwesome icons via the fontawesome package. To install the icons, you need to download the “FontAwesome Free For Desktop” package from the FontAwesome website and install the .otf files in your system’s font directory.

[!NOTE] If you are using the webapp (https://typst.app/), upload the entire otf/ directory to your project and the fonts will be recognized automatically (possibly after a reload).
