I think the "Quantity" type is a neat idea. I'm wondering how to implement that as a utility type in Typescript.

You can use an intersectional type with a unique constraint to make something that behaves like a nominal type (see: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play#example/nominal-typing)

If you use a symbol as the brand key, you can even stack multiple different brands!
