Jeremy Tankard is a British type designer.[1][2][3][4][5] Tankard has designed retail fonts independently and for FontShop and Adobe.[6] His Corbel font designed for Microsoft has been included in Microsoft Office and Windows since 2006.[7][8][9]
Tankard has also designed custom corporate fonts for organisations such as Sheffield City Council, Falmouth University and Christchurch Art Gallery.[10][11][12][13][14]
Some of his fonts 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.[3] 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.[15][16][17] Tankard studied at the Royal College of Art.[2][18]
