Lato is a sans-serif typeface family designed by Łukasz Dziedzic in 2010. The family includes Thin, Light, Regular, Bold, and Black weights. The font was originally created as a set of corporate fonts for a large client, but the family became available for public release when the client decided to go in a different stylistic direction. Lato is a sleek sans-serif font that is transparent when used in body text but displays some original traits when used in larger sizes. You can download the font for free from Google Fonts
