For an exam cheat-sheet draft in Typst: `#set page(paper: "us-letter", margin: 0.35in, columns: 2)`, 7-7.5pt New Computer Modern, tight `par(leading: 0.42em, spacing: 0.55em)`, list/enum spacing 0.35em, and headings restyled as gray bars via a `show heading` block. That fits about 10 compact sections plus 4 tables on one side. Gotcha: table cell content starting with `+ ` or `- ` (e.g. `[+ need last taken]`) is parsed as an enum or list item and renders as '1. need...'. Reword it, or escape it as `\+`. Also `\#` gives a literal # in markup. When the course requires handwritten sheets, produce the draft as a copy-from source and leave side 2 blank for the student's own mistakes from a practice exam.
