In 1999, as an educational therapist, Dr. Bonnie Shaver-Troup, working with clients, began observing that reading issues masked the individual’s true capability and intelligence.
In 2000, Bonnie theorized that reading performance would improve through use of:
- A sans-serif font to reduce cognitive noise -Expanded scaling to improve potential for character recognition -Hyper-expansion of character spacing, which creates a greater lag time and reduces potential crowding and masking effects
These changes led to the development of seven specially-designed fonts, which create an immediate improvement in reading performance.
This is where Lexend was formed.

This looks nice but their website fails to degrade gracefully - this is what it looks like in Tor Browser, for some reason even after I allowed scripts to run:
strange ^^ it works for me under Firefox. It’s probably Tor blocking a resource… or an add-on.
