Typst is a Rust-based markup typesetting system pitched as a modern LaTeX replacement, driven from the command line with typst compile. Its official README settles the pronunciation with IPA /taɪpst/: one single syllable, "Ty" as in Typesetting plus "pst" as in Hipster. It is NOT "typist" — there is no vowel between the p and the st.

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.
