Lexicon was designed for use to be used at a very small point size in the 
Dictionary Of Dutch language.

'There are two versions of Lexicon: Lexicon no. 1 and Lexicon no. 2. The difference between these two lie in the extenders: Lexicon no. 1 is basically the dictionary version, which has very short extenders, while Lexicon no. 2 has extenders of a more regular length. Lexicon has been designed for optimal legibility, specifically when set very small. This is achieved, in part, by its large x-height—resulting in open counters and by the relatively small capital letters.'
