Readex Pro — Free Arabic Google Font
Readex Pro is a sans-serif family from a multi-script design team (Thomas Jockin, Nadine Chahine, Bonnie Shaver-Troup, Santiago Orozco, and Héctor Gómez) with a friendly, rounded character and a wide weight range. It reads clearly at both small interface sizes and large display use.
About Readex Pro
Readex Pro applies the reading-research approach behind Lexend — Dr. Bonnie Shaver-Troup's work on reducing visual noise to make text easier to read fluently — to Arabic. Its HEXP axis widens the letterforms themselves rather than just the spacing between them, which makes it worth a look for accessibility-focused or educational projects.
Designers: Thomas Jockin, Nadine Chahine, Bonnie Shaver-Troup, Santiago Orozco, Héctor Gómez
Best used for
