It's also used in radiation oncology for real-time dose verification: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prro.2025.09.004.

There is even a company selling Cherenkov imager for surface guided dose visualization: https://visionrt.com/applications-for-sgrt/cherenkov-imaging...

just for the correctness, Typst 0.14 now supports all PDF/A standards: https://staging.typst.app/docs/reference/pdf/#pdf-a

I wrote my PhD thesis in Typst last year. I also had to clone my university’s template (available here https://github.com/fdekerme/PhD_template_UPSalcay), but the process was fairly straightforward.

I’d say 99% of the experience was super smooth. It was a great decision, though risky as you mentioned—I started with Typst 0.11 and finished with 0.12. The only painful part (that last 1%) happened at the very end when I realized my university only accepted PDF/A (the archival version—I didn’t even know there were different PDF versions before this). While Typst 0.12 theoretically supports generating PDF/A-2b files, the output failed the university’s compliance test. I ended up (after MANY experimentations) using Adobe Acrobat Pro to convert the file, which caused some minor layout adjustments unfortunately.

Apart from that, I highly recommend Typst. It’s an excellent tool, and I hope academic journals will soon accept submissions in this format.
