`
`About the type
`This dictionary is typeset in CollinsPedra, a Special version of the
`Pedra family of types designed by Peter Bil’ak. CollinsPedra has
`been customized especially for Collins dictionaries; it includes
`both sans serif (for headwords) and serif (entries) versions, in
`several different weights. Its large x—height, its open ‘eye’, and its
`basis in the tradition of humanist letterforms make CollinsFedra
`
`both familiar and easy to read at small sizes. It has been designed ‘
`to use the minimum Space without sacrificing legibility, as well
`as including a number of characters and signs that are Specific to
`dictionary typography. Its companion phonetic type is the first
`of its kind to be drawn according to the same principles as the
`regular typeface, rather than assembled from rotated and reflected
`characters from other types. Peter Bil’ak (born 1973, Slovakia) is
`a graphic and type designer living in the Netherlands. He is the
`author of two books, Illegibility and Transparency. AS well as the
`Pedra family, he has designed several other typefaces including
`Eureka. His typothequecom website has become a focal point for
`research and debate around contemporary type design.
