Xanthi-based designer of the Greek type1 font family Phaistos (2004, with Stratos Doumanis). He also created the "oinuit" system, a set of Lambda (Omega LaTeX) typesetting tools for the Inuktitut language which comes bundled with the type 1 family Inuit (2002). In 2007, he published the Philokalia package, which includes a free Philokalia OpenType font developed with Ioannis Gamvets. It was specially made to print the Philokalia books. The UM Typewriter font family (2008, for OpenType fonts) is a monospaced font family that was built from glyphs from the CB Greek fonts, the CyrTUG Cyrillic alphabet fonts ("LH"), and the standard Computer Modern font family. Epi-Olmec (2008) is an Aztec dingbat font. In support of the href="http://openfontlibrary.org/member/asyropoulos">Open Font Library, he created the rune font Icelandic (2008: this font includes most "magical" staves that have been "used" in Iceland. Original drawings from the Museum of Sorcery&Witchcraft). He also made Asana Math (2007), which also has references to Young Ryu (2000) and Claudio Beccari (1997-1999). Kernest link.
