| 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. |
