Author's note

Asymek by Nick Polifroni is a free condensed sans serif with extremely tall, slim letters and a crisp silhouette. Rounded forms are narrow and controlled.

It can turn a title into a row of upright linear forms, making it especially apt for fashion posters and gallery programs. The same disciplined proportions suit album packaging and event graphics, where the lettering can echo columns, frames, or other vertical elements. Across these uses, its elongated structure links typography with architectural imagery.

The numbers are not yet finalized, and some kerning is weak. The font is available only in TrueType format and does not include ligatures. This is a work-in-progress version. Some euro characters may be incorrect in this introductory version.
