Jeremy Tankard is a British type designer.

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

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]
