Lato Font
Lato is a sans serif typeface household began inside the summer season of 2010 by Warsaw-based designer Lukasz Dziedzic (“Lato” indicates “Summer” in Polish). In December 2010 the Lato loved ones was published under the Open Font License by his foundry tyPoland, with help from Google.
Within the final ten or so years, for the duration of which Lukasz has been designing variety, most of his projects have been rooted in a particular design task that he necessary to resolve. With Lato, it was no unique. Initially, the family was conceived as a set of corporate fonts for a big client – who in the long run decided to go in different stylistic direction, so the family became out there to get a public release.
When functioning on Lato, Lukasz attempted to carefully balance some potentially conflicting priorities. He wanted to make a typeface that would appear very “transparent” when utilized in body text but would display some original traits when used in bigger sizes. He utilised classical proportions (particularly visible within the uppercase) to offer the letterforms familiar harmony and elegance. At the identical time, he made a sleek sans serif appear, which tends to make evident the truth that Lato was developed in 2010 – despite the fact that it does not follow any present trend.
The semi-rounded information on the letters give Lato a feeling of warmth, even though the powerful structure provides stability and seriousness. “Male and female, critical but friendly. With all the feeling in the Summer season,” says Lukasz. Learn more at www.latofonts.com
Update, August 2014: The previous version of Lato incorporated Extended Latin characters within the Latin subset. For anyone who is experiencing complications, please select the Extended Latin (latin-ext) subset to render all European languages appropriately.
