概要 Lato

Warsaw-based designer Lukasz Dziedzic created Lato with a dual personality: semi-rounded details in letters like 'a' and 'e' give it warmth up close, while the overall structure reads as clean and businesslike at a distance. These seemingly contradictory traits make it highly effective for corporate websites and marketing materials where trustworthiness and approachability must coexist. Available in five weights with matching italics, it has endured as a reliable body text choice for over a decade.

Design Analysis

Lato blends semi-rounded letterforms with a strong, stable structure, creating a warm yet professional typeface. Originally designed as a corporate font, its details reveal classical proportions softened by subtle curves in terminals and counters. The family offers ten weights, each maintaining the balance between seriousness and friendliness.

Recommended Use Cases

Well-suited for corporate websites, SaaS dashboards, and professional documents where warmth without informality is needed. Works as both heading and body text, reducing the need for multiple font families.

タイポグラフィの概念

  • Web Font

    A font specifically designed or licensed for use on websites, loaded via CSS @font-face or services like Google Fonts.

  • OFL (SIL Open Font License)

    The most common open-source font license. Allows free use, modification, and redistribution. All Google Fonts use OFL or Apache 2.0.

  • Modular Scale

    A sequence of harmonious numbers based on a ratio (e.g., 1.25 minor third, 1.333 perfect fourth, 1.618 golden ratio) used to set type sizes.

  • Letter Spacing

    The CSS property for adjusting spacing between all characters. Positive values spread letters apart; negative values bring them closer.

  • FOUT

    Flash of Unstyled Text — when a fallback font briefly appears before the web font loads. Mitigated by font-display: swap.

  • CLS (Font-related)

    Cumulative Layout Shift caused by font loading — text reflows when web font replaces fallback due to different metrics. A Core Web Vital issue.
