Lexend

Lexend was developed by Thomas Jockin in response to research on reading fluency and visual crowding. The family includes a variable axis (HEXP) that adjusts letter spacing to reduce lateral masking — the interference that adjacent letters exert on recognition. It is intended for contexts where reading difficulty is a concern, including educational materials and extended body text. No italic is available on Fontsource; the family ships as upright weights only.
