Research direction

Start by locating the existing Lato entry in the font-files repository and compare it with the Lato source repository linked in the issue. Add the variable version using the repository's existing font-entry conventions, preserving the SIL Open Font License information; done means Lato Variable is available alongside the existing Lato listing.
