AwesomeCV-Typst

Relived CV template powered by Typst

What is this for?

AwesomeCV-Typst is a Typst template for making Résume, CV or Cover Letter inspired by the famous LaTeX CV template Awesome-CV. It provides customizations and multilingual support beyond the original LaTeX project.

Current Issues

As Typst is still a very young (although very promising and robust to my belief) project, some features are only partially supported on certain platforms. It is hence difficult to predict any anomalies, but you are definitely welcomed to bring a PR, an issue or a discussion!

Image cropping: Typst does not have direct support to crop images using native primitives. Bring your own cropped image for profile photo if needed.
Font variants: There are currently no other ways to handle font families than having them loaded locally. I have included all used fonts in the src/fonts/ folder.
Header icons: Some icons cannot be properly rendered by Typst-cli in some environments, so not all FontAwesome icons are supported for the moment. See this Pull Request.
Publication: Current version of Typst does not allow full customization on the #bibliography function, so the display of publication section might not be optimal. See this disucssion.

Roadmap

I will gradually develop the template and bring all features that I made possible on the LaTeX platform. These features include:

Better Header: the header should be smarter, with possibilities to adjust profile image position and shape, etc.
More customizations: extra niche subsections and more.
Multilingual support: add non-latin language support (dedicated font families & variants for Chinese or Japanese, for example)

Tips

Host your submodules in different languages in respective subfoler (./modules_fr for instance), and quickly switch your output language by changing the value of varLanguage in metadata.typ

You can either clone the example repository and modify it locally to have a hands-on experience, or you might want to add this submodule repository and build up your own Typst project.

Method 1: Clone the example repository

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/mintyfrankie/awesomeCV-Typst
cd awesomeCV-Typst
typst --font-path ./src/fonts compile cv.typ

Method 2: Add the submodule repository to your git project

cd your/CV/project
git submodule add https://github.com/mintyfrankie/awesomeCV-Typst-Submodule awesomeCV
typst compile cv.typ

When the template file is updated:

git submodule update --remote
