Welcome! This site is powered by Typeset, a Zola theme inspired by the clean typography of LaTeX and academic papers.

About This Theme

Typeset brings the aesthetic of well-typeset documents to the web. It features:

  • Academic typography with carefully chosen fonts (Crimson Pro for body text, Inter for headings)
  • Tufte-style sidenotes that keep supplementary content visible without interrupting reading flow
  • KaTeX math rendering for beautiful mathematical equations
  • Responsive design that adapts gracefully from desktop to mobile
  • Dark mode support via system preferences

Philosophy

Good typography serves the reader. Every design choice in this theme aims to make content more readable and accessible:

  • Optimal line length (around 65 characters) reduces eye strain
  • Generous whitespace gives content room to breathe
  • Hierarchical headings help readers navigate
  • Sidenotes over footnotes keep context visible

Technical Details

This theme is built with:

  • Zola — A fast static site generator written in Rust
  • Sass — CSS with superpowers
  • KaTeX — Fast math typesetting (loaded only when needed)
  • CSS custom properties for easy theming
