Idea

In type theory, a type is fibrant if it has enough path-filling to support homotopical identity types.

In ordinary homotopy type theory, this refers to a Kan fibrations.
In cubical type theory (CCHM), a fibrant type is a type together with a composition structure.
In Higher Observational Type Theory is a fibrant type if there is a transport isomorphism defined coinductively on all identity types over .

Remarks

The term derives from homotopy theory, and was absorbed into type theory via HoTT.
