Jeremy Tankard is a British font designer. Tankard has designed retail fonts independently and for FontShop and Adobe. His Corbel font designed for Microsoft has been included in Microsoft Office and Windows since 2006.
Tankard has also designed custom corporate fonts for organisations such as Sheffield City Council, Falmouth University and Christchurch Art Gallery.
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. 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. Tankard studied at the Royal College of Art.
