# `Typist`: Powerful, Varied Typing Utilities

```{py:currentmodule} my.typing.Typist
```

```{eval-rst}
.. autoclass:: my.typing.Typist.Typist
```

The three chambers `Typist` mixes in are documented on their own pages: casting on [`cast`](typing.cast.md) (`ty.cast`, `ty.flexcast`, ...), value checking on [`check`](typing.check.md) (`ty.check`, `ty.is_atom`, ...), and type matching on [`match`](typing.match.md) (`ty.match`, `ty.is_atom_type`, ...).
