Designers Note
Lato is a modern, versatile sans-serif typeface designed with clarity and warmth in mind. Its semi-rounded details convey a sense of friendliness while maintaining professional elegance. Ideal for both headings and body text, Lato offers excellent readability across digital and print media, making it a popular choice for web designers and branding projects alike.
Lato means “Summer” in Polish, and it is a sans serif typeface family started in the summer of 2010 by Warsaw-based designer Łukasz Dziedzic. Originally conceived as part of a corporate identity for a large client, the family became available for a public release when they decided to go in different stylistic direction.
Łukasz tried to carefully balance some potentially conflicting priorities in the design; to create a typeface that seems “transparent” when used in body text but also displays original traits in larger size use. Classical proportions, particularly in the uppercase, give the letterforms familiar harmony and elegance, and combine with a sleek treatement that feels contemporary without being trendy. Semi-rounded details feel warm, while the underlying structure provides stability and seriousness. “Serious but friendly, with the feeling of the Summer,” said Łukasz.
