`
`About the type
`This dictionary is typeset in CollinsFedra, a special version of the
`Fedra family of types designed by Peter Bil’ak. CollinsFedra has
`been customized especially for Collins dictionaries; it includes
`both sansserif (for headwords)andserif (entries) versions, in
`several different weights. Its large x-height, its open ‘eye’, and its
`basis in the tradition of humanistletterforms make CollinsFedra
`
`both familiar and easy to read at small sizes, It has been designed °
`to use the minimum space withoutsacrificing legibility, as well
`as including a numberof characters andsigns that are specific to
`dictionary typography. Its companion phonetic typeis thefirst
`of its kind to be drawn according to the sameprinciples as the
`regular typeface, rather than assembled from rotated and reflected
`characters from othertypes. Peter Bil’ak (born 1973, Slovakia)is
`a graphic and type designer living in the Netherlands, He is the
`author of two books, legibility and Transparency. As well as the
`Fedra family, he has designed several other typefaces including
`Eureka. His typotheque.com website has becomea focal pointfor
`research and debate around contemporarytype design.
