`
`Aboutthe type
`This dictionary is typeset in CollinsFedra, a special version of the
`Fedra family of types designed by PeterBil’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’, andits
`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 withoutsacrificinglegibility, as well
`as including a numberof characters andsignsthat are specific to
`dictionary typography.Its companion phonetic type is the first
`ofits kind to be drawn accordingto the sameprinciples as the
`regular typeface, rather than assembled from rotated andreflected
`characters from other types. PeterBil’ak (born 1973, Slovakia) is
`a graphic andtype designerliving in the Netherlands.He is the
`authorof two books, Illegibility 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 contemporary type design.
