What is the story with the fonts Typst uses? Does it come with a standard library of fonts?

I am not a fan of LaTex myself, but I admire it to some extent.

Other systems come along that are less verbose and easier to write, and faster. Yay.

And then people use it, and then someone thinks "oh we should have this function", "We need to add a feature for it to work well" etc etc and slowly the system either bloats, and at some point, a person will look back at LaTeX and go

"Oh that is why this existed, and ah that is why this is slow"

Or one can choose to keep the new system simple and simply use LateX when something more is required.
