Description
Corbel, designed in 2004 by Jeremy Tankard, is a humanist sans-serif font that belongs to the ClearType Font Collection, released with Windows Vista. Its design is intended to work well with Microsoft's ClearType text rendering system and is slightly more condensed than average. The letter forms are open and flowing, providing an uncluttered and clean appearance on screen. Corbel distinguishes itself with its true italic style that has influences from serif fonts and calligraphy. The italic letters feature a tail pointing to the right. Corbel's design is reminiscent of Frutiger and shares similarities with Calibri and Candara, other humanist sans-serif designs in the ClearType Font Collection.
