In 2013-2014, the family was incredibly reached out to cover 2300+ glyphs per style. It presently bolsters 100+ Latin-based dialects, 50+ Cyrillic-based dialects just as Greek and IPA phonetics. Simultaneously, the measurements and kerning of the family have been reexamined and four extra loads were made.
Previous ten or so years, during which Łukasz has been planning type, a large portion of his activities were established in a specific structure task that he expected to tackle. With Lato, it was the same. Initially, the family was imagined as a lot of corporate text styles for a huge customer — who at long last chose to go various elaborate ways, so the family opened up for an open discharge.

He needed to make a typeface that would appear to be very "straightforward" when utilized in body message however would show some unique qualities when utilized in bigger sizes. He utilized traditional extents (especially obvious in the capitalized) to give the letterforms natural amicability and polish. Simultaneously, he made a smooth sanserif look, which makes apparent the way that Lato was planned in 2010 — despite the fact that it doesn't follow any present pattern.
The semi-adjusted subtleties of the letters give Lato a sentiment of warmth, while the solid structure gives soundness and earnestness. "Male and female, genuine however well disposed. With the sentiment of the Summer," says Łukasz.
Lato comprises of nine loads (in addition to comparing italics), including a wonderful hairline style.
