# latex-mimosis: A minimal & modern template for your thesis

This repository contains a minimal & modern LaTeX template for
dissertations and other university documents.

For the impatient or curious: [this is how the template looks
like](Thesis.pdf).

# Advantages

This template aims to be…
- clean: no LaTeX trickery
- minimal: no unnecessary adjustments and decorations
- modern: typographically pleasing

It is specifically suited for the European education system because it
uses A4 paper size by default.
