About:
Lexend is a variable font family designed to improve reading comprehension and speed by offering a range of customizable width and spacing values. It was developed in collaboration with literacy experts to reduce visual stress and enhance readability for diverse audiences. This package provides the font files for system-wide use in macOS.
Key Features:
  • Variable font technology allowing fine-grained control over width and weight
  • Designed specifically to increase reading speed and reduce eye strain
  • Open-source and freely available from Google Fonts
  • Includes multiple file formats compatible with macOS applications
Use Cases:
  • Enhancing text legibility for long-form reading on screens
  • Accessibility-focused environments where visual clarity is paramount
  • Design systems requiring a flexible, readable typeface
Alternatives:
  • font-inter – Inter is a highly versatile sans-serif but not specifically designed for reading optimization like Lexend
  • font-open-sans – Open Sans is a standard web font but lacks the variable width axis and reading-focused design of Lexend
