About
Readex Pro is the world-script expansion of the Lexend fonts. Readex Pro is designed by Thomas Jockin and Nadine Chahine and currently supports Latin and Arabic.
Lexend is a family of variable fonts designed by Bonnie Shaver-Troup, Thomas Jockin and Font Bureau. Applying the Shaver-Troup Individually Optimal Text Formation Factors, studies have found readers instantaneously improve their reading fluency.
A Hyper Expansion axis was added to the family in October 2022. This axis increases inner and outter space of glyphs to adjust better to reader's individual comfort.
The fonts are based on the Quicksand project from Andrew Paglinawan. To contribute, see github.com/ThomasJockin/readexpro.
