Jeremy Tankard is a British type designer. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Tankard has designed retail fonts independently and for FontShop and Adobe. [6] Corbel was designed for Microsoft and has been included in Microsoft Office and Windows since 2006. [7] [8] [9]
Tankard has also designed custom corporate typefaces for organisations such as Sheffield City Council, Falmouth University and Christchurch Art Gallery. [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]
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. [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]
