What/The
Yes, 'lo' is an article in Spanish - no a typo :)
In this case it would mean:
'what characterizes these...'
'the distinguishing feature of these...'
'What is unique about these...'
If I'm not mistaken, 'lo' is more widely used in Latin America (as an Argentine Spanish speaker, I'm very used to hearing it!)

The (characteristic feature) / That which is characteristic
Not a typo. It is our way to say the, what, that which is something; lo característico, lo bonito de ser humano, lo bueno de hacerse mayor... the good thing about, the beautiful, the characteristic feature of something...

Maybe if you provide a specific example of what you mean, Tomasso... One sentence?
Agree , also Lo becomes ? pronombre sustantivo ? Alguien puede aclarar? Es muy comun en Costa Rica.
