I can't remember with whom but we wondered wheter Typst would produce as nice output as LaTeX.
It seems it does.

Typst output is quite close to that of LaTeX. It uses the same line-breaking algorithm developed by Donald Knuth and Michael Plass for TeX, so it creates nicely balanced paragraphs of regular text. Its mathematical typesetting algorithms are based closely on the TeX algorithms, and indeed mathematical rendering is nearly indistinguishable between the two systems.

There are caveats however

Typst's page layout algorithm doesn't always permit the refinements that LaTeX is capable of. For example, Typst is not as good as LaTeX at avoiding widows and orphans.

@das-g:matrix.orgdas-gDo we already have a logo? If not, I propose this one, which I just made from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Canton_of_Z%C3%BCrich.svg and https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/blob/master/logo/nix-snowflake.svg22:13:46
