Jeremy Tankard is a British type designer.[1] [2] [3] Tankard has designed retail fonts independently and for FontShop and Adobe.[4] Corbel was designed for Microsoft and has been included in Microsoft Office and Windows since 2006.[5] [6] [7]

Tankard has also designed custom corporate typefaces for organisations such as Sheffield City Council, Falmouth University and Christchurch Art Gallery.[8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

Some of his typeface designs such as FF Disturbance and Blue Island are experimental and based on distorting the alphabet, through a unicase design in Disturbance and the use of ligatures to connect letters in unexpected ways in Blue Island.[13] Tankard’s Bliss design, used by Amazon, is more traditional and loosely based on humanist sans-serif designs such as Johnston, Gill Sans and Syntax.[14] [15] [16] Tankard studied at the Royal College of Art.[17] [18]
