  We argue that it makes sense to talk about ``typical'' properties of
lattices, and then show that there is, up to isomorphism, a unique countable
lattice L* (the Fraisse limit of the class of finite lattices) that has all
``typical'' properties.
  Among these properties are: L* is simple and locally finite, every order
preserving function can be interpolated by a lattice polynomial, and every
finite lattice or countable locally finite lattice embeds into L*.
  The same arguments apply to other classes of algebras assuming they have a
Fraisse limit and satisfy the finite embeddability property.
