Author's note

Lato Light Italic by Lukasz Dziedzic is a free light italic sans serif with tall, slim proportions. Its gently slanted letters combine broad curves with finely tapered strokes, giving the face a graceful forward movement. The drawing stays clean and restrained.

Fashion and contemporary culture are natural subjects for its understated elegance. It suits magazine features and beauty packaging, where the fine strokes can suggest refinement without ornate decoration. The same fluid profile also lends a polished voice to event invitations and arts branding.

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.
