The main problem I have with Typst compared with LaTeX is that it doesn't handle basic fine typographic features, such as the different types of spacing in math

  It also seems to have problems with accessibility, based on this thread - https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/133 https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/133 But then again, apparently so does LaTeX

  Am I misunderstanding what exactly you are looking for? You can change the spacing in math mode of symbols/operators with https://typst.app/docs/reference/math/class/ https://typst.app/docs/reference/math/class/ and delimiter size with https://typst.app/docs/reference/math/lr#functions-lr https://typst.app/docs/reference/math/lr#functions-lr (or automatically).

    I didn't know about math classes, thank you for the reference The issue I have with delimiters is that there is no option for "big", but only for "140%" or whatever, making it harder to be consistent Someone created an issue on this on GitHub if I remember correctly And automatically chosen sizes are often too large

      Good point! lr should support lengths in addition to ratios. Should be easy to add.

      Ah, yeah fair enough! I was confused thinking that you were unaware of the existence of the functionality as a whole. Well, as laurmaedje (one of the main devs) said below, it should be easy to add, though it seems difficult to find which size values `big`, `bigg` and so on exactly represent.
