Asap, designed by Pablo Cosgaya of Omnibus-Type, is a free humanist sans serif. Its upright shapes feel compact and efficient, with softly rounded joins, gently changing stroke widths, subtly angled cuts, and open forms that keep the lettering approachable rather than mechanical.
Designers working on public-facing brands and everyday services will find its calm, direct manner especially useful. It suits packaging, wayfinding, and digital interfaces because the letters stay orderly without losing warmth for broad public audiences. Event programs and educational materials are another good match, especially when information should feel current, practical, and welcoming to families and general audiences.
Asap is based on Ancha (designed by Pablo Cosgaya & Hector Gatti). This family, specially developed for screen and desktop use, offers of a standarised character width on all styles, which helps retain the same length on all text lines.
