I’ve been really interested in Latex since I heard about it. Does anyone have examples of top tier use of it? I know it’s more for proper layout of equations and such, but are there examples of being used in aesthetically pleasing ways?

I learned it to write a resignation letter 10 years ago. I haven't touched it since.

The letter looked fantastic.

That sounds gloriously over the top.

Actually, if you pull up some basic formatting syntax, it's not really slower than formatting in Word. It has presets for all the placement you need for a business letter, so you really just focus on what you want to say.

Take a look at some of the templates available at Overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates

I don't have a link to it right now, but I use LaTeX to format my CV. It makes it much easier to add new sections and keep everything consistent.
