Brand Standard · v1.0 · 21 Aug 2026
Brand Standard

Elevated golf, defined by touch.

Everything a designer, agency, or partner needs to keep ASHER looking and sounding like ASHER. Colors, logos, type, accents, words we use, and the things we never do.

01 · Logos

Logos

Three logos. The wordmark leads. The two bars are secondary treatments for moments that need containment, not alternatives to be picked at random.

Primary logo

ASHER wordmark · the default in every case

Site header and footer, email header, ad sign-off, documents. If you are unsure which mark to use, use this one.

Secondary logos

Bar 1 · outline

Where the mark needs to hold its own space on a busy or textured surface. Debossed into suede, on hangtags, as a stamp.

Bar 2 · solid

Reversed use on light photography, labels, woven tags. The most assertive of the three, so the least used.

Approved color combinations

Five colorways exist: Onyx, Charcoal, Nimbus, Bone, and White. These are the approved pairings.

Background Logo colorway Notes
White Onyx The default pairing
Onyx White The default dark pairing
Bone Onyx Warm light sections
Nimbus Onyx Product tiles, swatch grounds
Charcoal White Secondary dark surfaces
Photography White Only over an even, unbusy area
Photography Onyx Only over a light, even area
Any warm or colored ground Not approved The brand has no colored grounds

Logo usage rules

  • One mark per surface. The wordmark and a bar never appear together in the same layout.
  • Clear space on all four sides equals the cap height of the A. No type, no rule, no image edge, no other mark enters it.
  • Never re-typeset or re-letterspace the wordmark. It is artwork, not live type.
  • Never stretch, condense, rotate, or skew.
  • Never place the wordmark inside a new shape to imitate a bar. Use Bar 1 or Bar 2.
  • Never reconstruct a mark from the fonts. Use the supplied vector.

Clear space and minimum size Proposed

x equals the cap height of the A. Nothing enters that margin
Context Minimum

Embroidery Needs your decorator Open

Misuse

Every one of these is a real thing that happens. None of them is acceptable.

Do not stretch
Do not condense or extend
Do not rotate
Do not build your own bar
02 · Colors

Gradient

One gradient, Bone to White. Bone holds solid through the top half, then blends to white across the bottom half. Used as a section background. Nothing else in the brand uses a gradient.

Hold the same 50 percent stop whichever direction you use, so the ratio stays half and half.

Accessibility

Every approved pairing passes WCAG AA. Nimbus on Charcoal does not clear AAA and should not be used for type.

Nimbus on Charcoal 6.73 : 1 Pass No Do not use

Color guidelines

  • Backgrounds and surfaces are Bone, White, Onyx, or the gradient. Roughly 85 percent of any layout is one of those. Bone is the warm default, White is the clean default, Onyx is the dark section.
  • Nimbus is a surface only: product tiles, section fields, swatch grounds. Never a type color.
  • Charcoal for secondary type, body text, hairlines, and the callout device.
  • Type is always Onyx, Charcoal, or White.
  • No pure black. Onyx is the black.
  • No warm swatches. Cognac and tan are leather, not palette. Warmth enters through photography and material only.
  • One gradient only, Bone to White. Do not invent others.
03 · Typography

Typography

Futura PT Demi for headlines and product names. Coordinates for eyebrows, labels, and specs. Nunito Sans for everything you actually read. Type is always monochrome.

The three faces

Role Face Weight Used for Email only
Headline Futura PT Demi / 600 H1, H2, product names, prices, nav Jost SemiBold
Accent Coordinates Regular / 400 Eyebrows, labels, legends, specs, colorway names, feature callouts, boxed text Space Mono
Body Nunito Sans Regular / Bold All running copy. Also all buttons Nunito Sans

Adobe Fonts access is a requirement, not a preference. Futura PT and Coordinates are the ASHER typefaces and there is no approved alternative to them in design work. If you are producing anything for ASHER, you need your own Adobe Creative Cloud or Adobe Fonts subscription. The right column is not a substitute set for general use. It applies to email and nowhere else, for the one reason given below.

A golf glove is the only thing between your hands and the game, the one place where you and the club become a single motion. Everyone who wears ours says the same thing first. They talk about how it feels.

H1 through H4 are fluid, scaling linearly between a 375px and a 1400px viewport. Body is 14px on desktop as well as mobile, smaller than most themes default to, and part of the restraint.

The tracking ladder

The most transferable rule on this page. Letter spacing scales with type size, and it is most of why ASHER reads the way it does. When in doubt, interpolate.

Size Tracking Seen on
12px 1.5px Nav, small labels
13px 2 to 3px Accordion toggles, mega-menu promo
14px 2px Product cards, prices, Shop-the-Look headings
22px 5px Section headings
23px 4px PDP titles
40px 5px Hero headlines

Font rules

  • Letter spacing scales with type size. Interpolate from the ladder above.
  • Uppercase for headlines, eyebrows, nav, buttons, product names, and labels.
  • Capitalized for running copy only.
  • Lowercase for feature callout labels, and nowhere else.
  • Never track body copy past 0.5px. It stops being readable and starts being decoration.
  • Coordinates is never a headline and never a body face.
  • Type is always monochrome. All warmth comes from photography and material.
  • Buttons and body are Nunito Sans, deliberately, not Futura PT.
  • Jost and Space Mono are for email only. Everywhere else, use the real faces.

Email substitutes, side by side

Email is the only place these are used. Email clients will not load Adobe Fonts, so Futura PT and Coordinates cannot render in an inbox at all. Jost and Space Mono exist to solve that single problem in Klaviyo. They are not a general fallback, they are not for decks, documents, ads, social, packaging, or web, and nobody should be building ASHER work without the real fonts. Outside email, there is no substitute.

Space Mono runs wider than Coordinates at the same point size. Letterspaced eyebrows built in Klaviyo will need slightly less tracking, or a point smaller, to occupy the same line.

04 · Accents, Textures, and Alt Marks

Accents, Textures, and Alt Marks

The three design devices, the material library, and every mark that is not one of the three logos. These are the most ownable things ASHER has, and no other glove brand uses them.

Design accents

The callout · geometry

Two elements and one rule. The circle's outer diameter is 9.66 times the leader stroke weight, and the leader runs into the circle edge with no gap. That holds at any size, on any canvas, in any tool.

9.66x stroke 1x no gap
Property Source units Ratio
Stroke weight 2 1x
Circle path radius 8.66 4.33x
Circle outer diameter 19.32 9.66x
Fill none
Default color #4D4949 Charcoal
Canvas Leader stroke Circle outer diameter
Any 1080px canvas: 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 2px 19px
2250 wide, the production master 4px 39px
Web, inline at body scale 1px 10px

The callout · anatomy

  • The open circle sits at the product end. It is the anchor on the garment. The leader terminates bare where it meets the type.
  • The type is always horizontal, whatever angle the leader runs at.
  • The type block is centred on the bare end of the leader.
  • Color is White over photography, Charcoal on light grounds. Nothing else.
  • One callout system per image. Multiple callouts are fine. Mixing the two registers in one image is not.

The callout · leader angle

Free rotation is allowed, and in practice it is common. But it is a last resort, not a first move. Try horizontal, then vertical, then 45 degrees. Rotate freely only when the image and the space around the anchor require it. The angle serves the photograph, never the grid.

1 · Horizontal. Try first
2 · Vertical
3 · 45 degrees
4 · Free. The source file is 60 degrees

The circle and the line weight never change. At a given canvas size the stroke thickness and the circle diameter are fixed. Only the length of the line changes, extending or shortening to suit the layout. All four examples above are drawn at exactly the same stroke and circle size.

The callout · text registers

One device, two jobs. The difference is the type, and it matters more than it looks.

Product callout · Shop-the-Look
Major Golf Glove
white
  • Line 1: product name, Futura PT Demi, uppercase
  • Line 2: colorway, Coordinates, lowercase
  • Type block centred. Names the product
Feature callout · anatomy and detail
main glove
  • One line only, Coordinates, lowercase
  • No colorway line, no caps
  • Type block centred. Names the part

The lowercase is a voice rule, not a type rule. thumb and tab in lowercase is the brand being quiet about a technical detail. In caps it would read like a spec sheet.

The boxed text device

A Futura PT element paired with a boxed qualifier set in Coordinates. The Futura element can be a numeral, a word, or the ASHER wordmark. The box always contains Coordinates type, never Futura, and it is never filled. Box height matches the cap height of the Futura element beside it.

Numeral plus boxed qualifier. THE set vertical, 100 in Futura, WASH TEST boxed in Coordinates
Wordmark plus boxed qualifier. THE set vertical, ASHER in Futura, MAJOR boxed in Coordinates
Property Value
Structure THE set vertically at the left, a Futura PT element in the centre, a boxed Coordinates qualifier at the right
The Futura element A numeral (100), a word, or the ASHER wordmark. Always Futura PT Demi
The boxed text Always Coordinates, uppercase, letterspaced. One or two lines
Box height Matches the cap height of the Futura element beside it, plus a hairline of padding
Box stroke A hairline. 3 units against a 170-unit cap height, roughly 1 : 57
Box fill None, always
Reserved for Proof claims and named products. Never headlines, never promotions

The technical dot

The dot marks the emphasis word. In GOLF'S MAJOR GLOVE it sits in the O of MAJOR, not GOLF'S or GLOVE. In DEFINED BY TOUCH it sits in the O of TOUCH. It is a pointer, not a decoration, so it goes on the word that carries the meaning.

Golf's Major Glove · the dot sits in the O of MAJOR
Defined By Touch · the dot sits in the O of TOUCH
Property Value
Form Filled circle, centred in the counter of an O
Diameter One fifth of cap height
Count One per lockup
Color Matches the type it sits in

One accent device per piece. A callout and a boxed proof mark in the same frame is one too many. The devices are quiet because they are rare.

Textures

A small, fixed set of surfaces the brand returns to. Like a fashion house with its signature fabrics.

Paper stock
Paper
Herringbone
Herringbone
Sueded leather, charcoal
Sueded leather · Charcoal
Sueded leather, bone
Sueded leather · Bone
  • Build on the material, do not only photograph it. Full-bleed paper, herringbone, or suede as a background or a section break.
  • Type can be embossed or debossed into the surface in hero moments. It stays monochrome and still feels physical.
  • The two faces of the leather are a recurring device. Smooth is refined, suede is warm and intimate. Use the transition between them as a divider or a hover state.
  • Paper is the print and bone-ground surface. Herringbone is the apparel surface. Suede is the glove surface.
Alternative marks

Eight marks, each with one job. They support the wordmark, they never replace it. One alt mark per piece. Shown here in White on Onyx so the set reads as one system.

01 · ASHER Defined By Touch lockup

The wordmark with the signature locked beneath it. The formal sign-off: video end cards, campaign closes, packaging, and any branded material that closes with the brand rather than a product. Use the supplied lockup, never build it by stacking the two marks yourself.

02 · Asher script

The warm register. Debossed into suede and leather, on tissue and interior packaging. Not for digital layouts or headlines.

03 · Park City UT

Place, set as coordinates. Footer, packaging, and the back of a hangtag. Always small, always paired with the wordmark or a bar.

04 · Defined By Touch

The signature on its own. Campaign sign-off, packaging interior, film end card. Set small and wide.

05 · Golf's Major Glove

The Major's line, for wide crops and banners. Carries the technical dot on the O of MAJOR.

06 · Golf's Major Glove · stacked

The vertical build. Use in 4:5 and 9:16 where the horizontal would have to shrink to fit.

07 · The ASHER Major

The sub-brand lockup, and the pattern for any named product. It replaces the master wordmark in that layout rather than sitting beside it, because the brand is already inside the lockup.

08 · The 100 Wash Test

A proof mark, not a decoration. It makes a claim, so it is governed. Use it on apparel with the knit or interior collar construction only, never on gloves and never on accessories. It is never a headline, it supports the story rather than opening it, and it appears once per piece, because repetition turns proof into marketing.

The 100 Wash Test · approved wording

Two versions, both live on ASHER product pages. Use the first for apparel generally and the second for anything with a collar. Do not paraphrase.

Version 1 · apparel

Tested to hold up, wash after wash.

Before any piece makes it onto the ASHER site, we put it through a 100-wash test: washed, dried, and washed again, one hundred times, to make sure it holds up the way it did on day one. Shape, color, and finish, proven before it ever reaches you. Quality, built in from the thread up.

Version 2 · anything with a collar

A collar that holds its shape, wash after wash.

Before any piece makes it onto the ASHER site, we put it through a 100-wash test. Washed, dried, and washed again, one hundred times... to make sure it holds up the way it did on day one. It shows most at the collar, where a proprietary interior construction keeps it crisp and true. No collar curling, no sag, wash after wash. At ASHER, quality is built in from the thread up.

Legacy marks

Both are discontinued. They are shown here so people recognize them and know to stop using them. They still exist on product in the market and in old files, which is exactly why they need naming rather than quietly dropping.

AG circle · Legacy

Reads as a heritage badge and fights the modern restraint. Still appears embroidered on existing gloves and hats. Not for new work of any kind.

Asher monogram · Legacy

Very close to the AG circle in spirit, and retired for the same reason plus one more: it sits close enough to the monogram of another prominent brand to cause confusion. Still appears on existing gloves and hats. Not for new work of any kind.

Neither legacy mark goes on anything new: no ads, no email, no packaging, no site, no deck. If you find one in a template, replace it with the wordmark.

05 · Layout and UI

Layout and UI

Square corners, wide margins, thin lines. Zero border radius everywhere. Few elements per screen. The restraint is doing the work.

Buttons and links

Three styles, and only three. Each has one job.

Primary
Onyx fill, White text, on a light ground
Reversed. White fill, Onyx text, on a dark ground or over imagery

The main action. One per view.

Secondary
Bone fill, Onyx text
Outlined. Transparent fill, 1px Onyx border, fills on hover

The alternative action, sitting beside a primary.

Text link
Underlined, 4px offset, no box

For a tertiary action that should not compete: a size guide, a policy, a detail.

Property Value
Border radius 0px. Square, always
Padding 10.4px / 28px
Border 1px solid, matches fill
Font Nunito Sans Bold 13px
Case Uppercase
Tracking 0.1em
Line height 1.65
Hover Fill steps to the hover value. No wipe animation
Text link Underline, 4px offset
Inputs 0px radius, 10.4px / 12.8px padding
  • Never round a corner. Not a button, not an input, not a card, not an image.
  • One primary button per view. If everything is primary, nothing is.
  • Button copy is two to four words, uppercase, verb first. Meet the Major. Shop multipacks.
  • Never an exclamation point, never a countdown, never shouting beyond the standard uppercase.

Layout guidelines

  • Generous negative space. Few elements per screen. Luxury is partly the absence of noise.
  • Wide editorial margins. Let the page breathe.
  • Divider lines are thin. Where a line separates two sections or two rows, it is a single pixel of Charcoal at 20 percent opacity, so it reads as a faint hairline rather than a hard border. Never a thick or dark rule. Every horizontal line on this page is an example.
  • Icons are drawn with thin lines. The small line icons on the site (the truck, chat bubble, and shield in the trust bar, and the search, account, and bag icons in the header) use a 1.2px line weight. Most icon sets ship at 1.5 or 2px, which reads heavier and cheaper. If you commission or buy a new icon, set its stroke to 1.2px to match.
  • A considered pace. Unhurried transitions, soft cross-fades, micro-interactions with a gentle give.
06 · Photography

Photography

A glove brand exists because of touch, so the imagery has to be the most tactile in golf. Most ecommerce is flat, evenly lit, and frictionless in a way that reads cheap. We do the opposite.

The vibe, in one line

A brand that feels like handling a well-made object. Warm, unhurried, and specific. Light reveals touch, so shoot to show the pore of the leather, the nap of the suede, and the rise of each stitch. Shadow is depth is the feeling of a real object.

Lifestyle

Hands on the grip
Glove on driftwood
Player against the sky
Glove flat lay on grass
Player on the beach
Gloved hand in the cart
Player seated on the dunes
Gloves at the bag
Lifestyle · Do
  • Shoot in natural, directional light. Golden hour, window light, open shade. Let real shadow fall.
  • Make hands the hero. The glove going on, the tab closing, a palm on the grip.
  • Use real places. The first tee at dawn, driftwood and coastline, the cart on the way out, the bag mid-round.
  • Leave negative space where type will sit. Open sky, sand, fairway.
  • Catch people mid-motion rather than posed. Nobody performing for the camera.
  • Cast mature, and cast both men and women naturally.
  • Keep the grade warm and filmic. Rich mid-tones, open shadows, skin and leather reading true.
Lifestyle · Don't
  • No flat, even light. No on-camera flash, no ring light, no shadowless frames.
  • No empty manicured course as a hero. The brand is about the player, not the property.
  • No cold or blue grade, no crushed blacks, no oversaturated greens, no HDR.
  • No visible competitor logos on apparel, gloves, clubs, bags, or golf balls.
  • No stock photography. If it looks bought, it is wrong.
  • No cluttered backgrounds competing with the product.
PDP ghost and studio photography

Both are shot in a studio, and they are two different things. Ghost imagery is the product alone, cut out, used only on product pages. Studio photography is the product on a hand or a body, lit and shadowed like the lifestyle work. Do not apply the rules of one to the other.

PDP ghost imagery

The cutout. Product alone on white or light grey, hard edge, no environment. This is the only place a cutout belongs, and it exists to show the product plainly on a product page. It is never a hero, never an ad, never a campaign image.

Ghost image, front of the ASHER glove
Ghost image, glove beside its packaging
Ghost image, herringbone polo
Ghost image, core pants
Ghost · Do
  • Cut out on pure white or a light grey ground. Both are approved.
  • A clean, hard clipping-path edge. This is the one place that is correct.
  • Keep the product square to the frame and consistently scaled across a collection.
  • Keep colorways true. A white glove should read warm white, not blue white.
  • Retain the leather grain and the stitch. Even a cutout should look like a real object.
Ghost · Don't
  • Never use a ghost image outside a product page. Not an ad, not email, not a hero, not social.
  • No fake drop shadows or reflections added under the cutout.
  • No props, no environment, nothing in the frame but the product.
  • No inconsistent scale or angle between colorways of the same style.
  • No over-retouching that flattens the material.

Studio photography

Product on a hand, on a body, or at macro range. Controlled, but never flat. Studio work still gets directional light and real shadow, and the seamless keeps its falloff.

Glove on hand, studio
Folded collar macro
Polo on model, studio
Polo on model, studio, charcoal
Studio · Do
  • Keep the light directional. Shadow under the fingers, along a fold, beneath a collar.
  • Shoot on a light grey or soft white seamless with real falloff.
  • Get close enough to read the leather grain, the stitch, and the label.
  • Show the product on a hand or on a body, not floating.
  • Keep hands relaxed and posture natural. No modelling.
  • Keep colorways true.
Studio · Don't
  • No cutouts. A cutout is a ghost image, and it belongs on a product page only.
  • No hard clipping-path edges. Falloff over cutout, every time.
  • No flat, shadowless lighting.
  • No heavy retouching of leather. The grain is the point.
  • No props that are not ours, and nothing competing with the product.
  • No centered catalog framing with everything at the same distance.
07 · Brand Voice

Brand Voice

The most quietly stylish person at the club. Great taste, nothing to prove, warm because they actually like the people they are with, and they would never brag about what anything cost. It is a sensibility, not a gender.

Five traits

Trait Say this Not this
Confident, not arrogant You will notice the difference the first time you grip the club. The pinnacle of premium leather, crafted for those who demand the finest.
Elevated, but easy The quiet confidence of putting on something made with intention. Asher. Redefining luxury in golf.
Warm and personal Golf apparel you'd actually want to wear off the course, that doesn't announce where you've been. Join the ranks of the discerning few.
Lightly wry A much-needed member's bounce. This glove is an absolute game changer.
Tactile and specific The tonal stitch. The way it breaks in. Premium quality construction and superior materials.

Two registers

Elevated

For brand and manifesto moments: the About page, a campaign opening, the story. Poetic, reverent, unhurried.

Warm

For product and packaging. Tighter, more human, with the occasional dry wit. This is where lightness lives, so the brand never tips into self-serious designer territory.

The two ditches

Arrogant luxury

Cold, flexy, name-droppy. For those who demand the finest. The designer-label trap.

Try-hard hype

Loud, salesy, exclamation points, game changer. The discount and street energy we are leaving behind.

ASHER drives down the middle: warm, assured, understated.

Built for both men and women

  • Default to you and we. Second person sidesteps gendered pronouns and reads warmer.
  • Describe the persona by values, not by him.
  • Lead with universal territories: touch, feel, the land, time, the people you play with.
  • Cast and photograph both, naturally. Never a men's brand with a token woman dropped in.
  • Speak specifically to the women's line on its own pages, never as a sub-brand or an afterthought.

The Argument

The central brand story. It flatters the customer instead of lecturing them: it takes someone who has already proven they care and points, gently, to the one gap. Used on the About page, campaign openings, glove PDP intros, and as the in-person sales and wholesale pitch. The closing line is always playful and knowing, never scolding.

Long before anyone is watching, we decide how we want to be seen. The considered details. The small choices only you would notice. It is one of the oldest, most human instincts we have, to present ourselves to the world with intention.

Golf is one of the rare places that rewards it. Few games hold skill and style in the same hand. Here, how you play and how you show up belong to the same pursuit.

So it is a strange thing, that moment on the first tee, when the one piece that connects you to the game, the only thing your hands feel it through, is the piece left to chance. Or forgotten entirely.

You think about how you show up. Your glove should be no exception.

08 · Verbiage

Verbiage

The words we use and the mechanical rules. Decided once, so nobody has to guess.

Approved vocabulary

Term What it means and why we use it
Defined by Touch The signature tagline. Title case. The most ownable line we have, so it is used deliberately and never diluted.
Golf's Major Glove The line for The Major. Title case. A product line, not a brand tagline.
Feel The brand's central word. Everything ladders back to it. Use it early and often.
Touch The signature word. Reserved for brand moments, not worn out in product copy.
Glove Always glove. Precise, never slang.
Round What you play. The game is the whole sport, a round is the day.
Capsule A seasonal release.
Colorway The trade term. Reads considered.
Multipack The bundle.
Custom-milled Fabric developed and made to spec, not pulled off the open market. A real, provable claim.
The 100 Wash Test The proof mark. Title case. Apparel only.

Mechanics

Item Standard
Em dashes Never. Use a comma, a colon, or a full stop

Taglines

Eight lines, ranked. One signature. Use the line that fits the moment, and never stack two together.

The signature

A golf glove is the only thing between your hands and the game, the one place where you and the club become a single motion. It is the most ownable line we have, so it is used deliberately and never diluted.

Tagline usage

# Line Where it goes
1 Defined by Touch. The signature. Master brand sign-off, campaign closes, packaging interior, film end cards.
2 Golf's Major Glove. The line for The Major. Product hero, glove PDP, paid social for the glove. Carries the technical dot.
3 Skill and style in the same hand. Campaign line. Brand moments, editorial, and film.
4 Made for feel. Made to be seen. Campaign line. Works across glove and apparel. Paid social and email hero.
5 You think about how you show up. Your glove should be no exception. Closes The Argument. About page, campaign openings, glove PDP intros, and the in-person pitch.
6 Finished with the details most overlook. Craft line. PDP intros, packaging, and anywhere the story is construction.
7 Built for the swing, styled for after. Apparel. Polos, layers, bottoms. The performance to leisure idea in one line.
8 Custom-milled from the thread up. Apparel. The proof line for fabric. Pairs with The 100 Wash Test.

Sign-off hierarchy

Master brand

ASHER. Defined by touch.

Campaign closes, homepage brand moments, film.

Capsule

Coastline. From tee to tide.

Capsule pages and product-focused moments.

Never stack the two. A capsule sign-off replaces the master one in that moment.

Do's and Don'ts

If you read one section, read this one.

Do
  • Lead with feel, touch, and material.
  • Stay confident and plain-spoken. Prove with a specific, checkable detail.
  • Default to you and we.
  • Keep all type Onyx, Charcoal, or White.
  • Use natural, directional light with real shadow.
  • Show hands and tactile close-ups.
  • Set headlines in Futura PT, uppercase, widely tracked.
  • Keep corners square and scale tracking with type size.
  • Use one accent device per piece.
  • Size logos small and deliberately. A quiet, well-placed mark reads elevated. A large one reads like a giveaway.
  • Leave room, move slowly, stay restrained.
Don't
  • Don't use em dashes, emojis, or exclamation points.
  • Don't lead with status, price, or logos.
  • Don't color the type or introduce a warm swatch.
  • Don't shoot flat, even, white-box product.
  • Don't use stock imagery.
  • Don't use the AG circle or the Asher monogram. Both are legacy.
  • Don't round a corner, anywhere.
  • Don't set a headline in Nunito Sans.
  • Don't use Jost or Space Mono anywhere but email.
  • Don't treat the women's line as a watered-down men's line.
  • Don't crowd the page or shout.

Not available to download

Futura PT Demi and Coordinates are the real ASHER typefaces. Both are licensed through Adobe Fonts, which does not permit us to redistribute the font files or host them ourselves. We cannot include them in a pack and we cannot email them to you.

To use the actual brand fonts you need your own Adobe Creative Cloud or Adobe Fonts subscription. Once you have one, activate futura-pt and coordinates from Adobe Fonts and they become available in every Adobe application and on any site you authorize.

That subscription is a requirement for anyone producing ASHER work. There is no approved alternative to Futura PT and Coordinates in design work of any kind. If you cannot license them, you cannot build the piece.

Email is the single exception. Email clients will not load Adobe Fonts, so nothing set in Futura PT or Coordinates will render in an inbox. Jost stands in for Futura PT Demi and Space Mono stands in for Coordinates, in Klaviyo and nowhere else. Pull both from Google Fonts as hosted web fonts, which is what an email template needs. They are not in a download pack because installed font files do nothing for email, and because there is no other use for them.
