This is an example of an application of an asymmetric typography by Elisabeth Lundin from Stockholm, Sweden. “The task of course, was to learn and understand asymmetric typography, and apply it into a "redesign" of the recently released book about amazing multi-artist Anders Krisár.“

This poster found on coroflot.com and designed by Marlee Youngkin shows asymmetric typography because it is not designed with an average poster format. Instead of typical who, what, where, when questions on a boring poster, the designer scatters them in a downwards diagonal format. This catches design students’ eyes, and lets them know information for an upcoming contest.
