Designer

Łukasz is a Warsaw-based designer. During Poland's first free elections in 1989, he joined Gazeta Wyborcza, the first independent daily newspaper, and soon found a home in the design department co-creating page layouts and his first typeface. In 2007, he created a three-style Latin and Cyrillic corporate family for empik, one of Poland’s largest retail networks. In 2010, he started the Lato project, to develop a high-quality open-source font family.

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
