## About Lexend Peta

Lexend Peta is a sans serif typeface with unusually wide letters and very open spacing. In the specimen every character has room around it: round letters come close to full circles, the a is single-storey, and a line of text takes far more width than the same words in a standard sans. It belongs to Lexend, which the official notes describe as seven families created to improve reading proficiency and developed using Shaver-Troup Formulations, likening the approach to prescription glasses for short-sighted readers. According to the same notes, all Lexend fonts became variable in June 2021 through work by Font Bureau. Lexend Peta's weight axis runs from 100 to 900, with nine named weights from Thin to Black and no italics. The 845 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. Credits name Bonnie Shaver-Troup, Thomas Jockin, Santiago Orozco, Héctor Gómez and Superunion.

## Where it works

- **Short, spaced-out headings**: A few words in Lexend Peta fill a line by themselves because both letters and gaps are wide.
- **Wordmarks with built-in tracking**: The open spacing gives a name the look of letterspaced capitals without manual adjustment.
- **Reading-support material**: The Lexend families were developed to improve reading proficiency, and Peta is a very widely spaced member of the set.
- **Titles on slides and screens**: Nine weights from Thin to Black allow a light label and a heavy title in the same wide style.
- **Labels in several languages**: Latin Extended and Vietnamese cover Turkish, Polish, Czech and Vietnamese.

## Things to know

- **It uses a lot of width**: In the specimen the family name alone spans most of the line; long paragraphs will run to many more lines than usual.
- **No italics**: Lexend Peta has nine upright weights only.
- **Reserved Font Name**: The license notice reserves the name RevReading Lexend.
