The Shaver-Troup Formulation was applied to Arabic with advisement from Arabic Typeface Designer, Nadine Chahine.\nSee \u003chttps://github.com/ThomasJockin/readexpro\u003e.\n\nLexend was turned into a variable font with weight axis (Thin to Black) by Font Bureau in March 2021.\n\nThis font is based on the Quicksand project from Andrew Paglinawan, initiated in 2008.\nQuicksand was improved in 2016 by Thomas Jockin for Google Fonts. Thomas modified Quicksand for the specialized task of improving reading fluency in low-proficiency readers (including those with dyslexia.)\n\n\n## ChangeLog\n\n2018 April 9 (Thomas Jockin) Version 1.0\n\n- First public release\n\nJune 2021 (Font Bureau) Version 1.006\n\n- Addition of weight axis (Thin, Light, Black masters)\n- Bug fixes in Latin Character Set\n\nJuly 2021 (Thomas Jockin) Version 1.1\n\n- Expansion to Arabic script\nSee \u003chttps://github.com/ThomasJockin/readexpro\u003e\n\n\n\n##  Where To Get It\n\n* Via the website's [download form](https://www.lexend.com/#download)\n* Directly from [GitHub](https://github.com/googlefonts/lexend/tree/main/fonts)\n* From [CTAN](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/lexend): `tlmgr install lexend`\n* From [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/): `brew cask install font-lexend-deca`\n\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\nIf you make modifications be sure to add your name (N), email (E), web-address (if you have one) (W) and description (D).
