## Preview
### CV
### Cover Letter
## Requirements
### Software
- [typst](https://typst.app/) (tested with v0.13.0+)
### Fonts
#### Text Fonts
By default, this template uses the Fira Sans and Noto Sans fonts. Roboto is used as a fallback font if Noto Sans is not available.
If you use the template through the webapp (https://typst.app), you don't need to do anything.
If you want to use it locally instead, you will need to install these fonts on your system to use the template with its defaults. You have a few options for this:
- Use [fontist](https://github.com/fontist/fontist) to install the fonts automatically:
```bash
fontist manifest-install manifest.yml
fontist fontconfig update
```
- Download the fonts manually and install them in your system's font directory:
- [Fira Sans](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Fira+Sans)
- [Noto Sans](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Sans)
- (Linux) Install them via your package manager, as most distributions provide these fonts in their repositories.
#### Icon Fonts
This template uses FontAwesome icons via the [fontawesome](https://typst.app/universe/package/fontawesome) package.
To install the icons, you need to download the "FontAwesome Free For Desktop" package from the [FontAwesome website](https://fontawesome.com/download) and install the `.otf` files in your system's font directory.
If you are using the webapp (https://typst.app/), upload the entire `otf/` directory to your project and the fonts will be recognized automatically (possibly after a reload).
