Modern UiT Thesis Template

Port of the uit-thesis-latex template to Typst.

thesis.typ contains a full usage example, see thesis.pdf for a rendered pdf.

Usage

Using the Typst Universe package/template:

typst init @preview/modern-uit-thesis:0.1.2

Fonts

This template uses a number of different fonts:

• Open Sans (Noto Sans)
• JetBrains Mono (Fira Code)
• XCharter (Charter)

The above parenthesized fonts are fallback typefaces available by default in the web app. If you'd like to use the main fonts instead, simply upload the .ttfs or .otfs to the web app and it will detect and apply them automatically.

XCharter is commonly packaged only for LaTeX, however to use it with typst, we need to fetch the archive from CTAN. The required .otf font files are in the opentype directory of the archive.

If you're running typst locally, install the fonts in a directory of your choosing and specify it with --font-path.

Important

We use XCharter to access additional font features not available in Charter, such as smallcaps and oldstyle figures. If you instead use the fallback font Charter to compile your document, be aware that these are unavailable.

Nix

If you're using the nix package manager, simply run the provided dev shell. It includes all dependencies needed to write and build the document locally, including the main fonts.
