Asana-Math is an OpenType mathematical font with advanced layout features based on the OpenType Math extensions. It was developed by Apostolos Syropoulos,{{Cite web |title=CTAN: Package asana-math |url=https://ctan.org/pkg/asana-math?lang=en |access-date=2024-11-03 |website=ctan.org}} based on the Type 1 pxfonts by Young Ryu{{Cite web |title=CTAN: /tex-archive/fonts/Asana-Math |url=https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/Asana-Math?lang=en |access-date=2024-11-03 |website=ctan.org}}. Asana-Math is freely available under the Open Font License. The word Asana (Ἀσάνα, Asána) in the Doric dialect is the name of the Greek mythological goddess Athena. It is designed to look similar to, and to blend with, Palatino.{{Cite web |last=RGB-es |date=2020-09-24 |title=Asana-Math, a mathematical font inspired by Palatino |url=https://frommindtotype.wordpress.com/2020/09/24/asana-math-a-mathematical-font-inspired-by-palatino/ |access-date=2024-11-03 |website=From Mind to Type |language=en}}
The font can be used to typeset mathematics in Unicode using the free typesetting systems XeTeX and LuaTeX, derivatives of TeX, and with Microsoft Office 2007. It was the first free font that could be used instead of Microsoft's Cambria Math with these applications.{{cn|date=November 2024}}
