Package Name:
lato-fonts
Summary:
A sanserif typeface family
Description:
Lato is a sanserif typeface family designed in the Summer 2010 by Warsaw-based designer Å?ukasz Dziedzic ("Lato" means "Summer" in Polish). In December 2010 the Lato family was published under the open-source Open Font License by his foundry tyPoland, with support from Google. When working on Lato, Å?ukasz tried to carefully balance some potentially conflicting priorities. He wanted to create a typeface that would seem quite "transparent" when used in body text but would display some original treats when used in larger sizes. He used classical proportions (particularly visible in the uppercase) to give the letterforms familiar harmony and elegance. At the same time, he created a sleek sanserif look, which 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. "Male and female, serious but friendly. With the feeling of the Summer," says Å?ukasz. Lato consists of nine weights (plus corresponding italics), including a beautiful hairline style. It covers 2300+ glyphs per style and supports 100+ Latin-based languages, 50+ Cyrillic-based languages as well as Greek and IPA phonetics.
