Author's note

Lato Bold by Lukasz Dziedzic is a free humanist sans serif with sturdy strokes and an open, approachable shape. Its broad capitals feel substantial, yet softly rounded curves keep the weight from looking blunt. The lowercase letters are compact and calm, with neat joins and a steady horizontal flow.

Consumer brands with a practical, friendly outlook could use it for packaging, campaign posters, and publishing, where the clean forms suit direct messages and everyday products. On signage, its broad shapes can become the sign itself.

Description
Lato is a sanserif typeface family designed in the Summer 2010 by Warsaw-based designer Lukasz Dziedzic ("Lato" means "Summer" in Polish). It tries to carefully balance some potentially conflicting priorities: it should seem quite "transparent" when used in body text but would display some original traits when used in larger sizes. The classical proportions, particularly visible in the uppercase, give the letterforms familiar harmony and elegance. At the same time, its sleek sanserif look makes evident the fact that Lato was designed in 2010, even though it does not follow any current trend. The semi-rounded details of the letters give Lato a feeling of warmth, while the strong structure provides stability and seriousness.
