{{Infobox font | image = Image:Tahoma font.png | style = Sans-serif | prop = Proportional | date = 1999 | creator = Matthew Carter | foundry = Monotype | sample = Image:Tahoma.png |}} Tahoma is a sans-serif typeface designed by Matthew Carter for the Microsoft Corporation in 1999. It is nearly identical to Verdana but with tighter letter-spacing and greater Unicode coverage. It is used most often as an alternative sans-serif font by people who dislike or are tired of the widely-used Arial.

It is also the default screen font used by Windows XP.
