Lexend fonts are intended to reduce visual stress and so improve reading performance. Initially they were designed with dyslexia and struggling readers in mind, but Bonnie Shaver-Troup, creator of the Lexend project, soon found out that these fonts are also great for everyone else.

The first set of Lexend fonts by Thomas Jockin (Deca, Exa, Giga, Mega, Peta, Tera, Zetta) all have a 'Medium' weight, and each becomes wider and more openly spaced (also known as "tracked out"). This new version of Lexend Deca is expanded by Font Bureau with a range of 8 weights.

True to Bonnie’s vision, Lexend fonts are freely available for all since 2019 in Google Fonts. To contribute, see lexend.com
