## About Lexend Mega

Lexend Mega is a sans serif family with wide, round letters set at very generous spacing. It belongs to Lexend, a collection of seven families that, according to the project, were developed to improve reading proficiency. In the specimen the o is close to a circle, the a and g are single-storey, strokes keep an even thickness, and the gaps between letters are almost as wide as the letters themselves, so a word occupies a long line. The family is a variable font whose weight axis runs from 100 to 900, with nine named weights from Thin to Black and no italics, supplied as one variable file. It contains 845 glyphs covering Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1, and the notice reserves the font name RevReading Lexend.

## Where it works

- **Wide-set headings**: Letters arrive already spaced far apart, so a short heading stretches across a column without manual tracking.
- **Wordmarks and brand lines**: Round bowls and nine weights give a spaced-out brand name a geometric, even rhythm from Thin to Black.
- **Labels and eyebrow text**: Two or three words in Medium or SemiBold above a title use the built-in spacing as a design feature.
- **Titles in Vietnamese and other languages**: The 845 glyphs include Vietnamese and Latin Extended, so accented titles keep the same wide rhythm.

## Things to know

- **Takes a lot of horizontal space**: Wide letters and wide gaps mean far fewer characters fit on a line than in a normally spaced sans; long paragraphs become very long.
- **No italics**: The family has upright styles only, nine in all.
- **One variable file**: The package holds a single variable font covering weights 100 to 900. Static files per weight are available from the official source.
