About Lato

Łukasz Dziedzic 最初为一家波兰企业设计了这款温暖而正式的无衬线字体,后于 2010 年公开发布。圆润的细节与笔画末端的半衬线赋予其独特的人文气质,同时在专业环境中保持无可挑剔的可读性。其微妙的矛盾性——既传统又现代,既正式又亲切——造就了持久的通用吸引力。

Typography Concepts

  • 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.
