Based on a series of drawings by Sue Walker and originally digitized by Vincent Connaire, fabula is the new display typeface for the cover of Collins Children Dictionaries. Its basic monolinear structure and stroke economy are the foundation for this typeface. The project will continue in 2005 with the design of a text version.

This Math and Pi font was designed to match the typefaces used by Paul Luna and Nadja Guggi in the new design of the Oxford University Press Dictionaries: DTL Argo and Swift, designed by Gerard Unger.

Pictures coming soon!




  Athelas was begun in 2003 as part of the MA in Typeface Design at the University of Reading.

The project is a reaction after many years of work closely related to digital media. An attempt to go back towards the beauty of fine book printing, of paper and ink. An escape from technical restrictions.

These principles lent Athelas its open counters, elegant curves and gracefull serifs; with fluid shapes in its roman variant that meet their counterpart in a more angular Italic.

In this first stage Athelas will be available in OpenType format with four initial variants: Roman, Italic, Book and Bold.
