Hawkland specimen from Jeremy Tankard Typography

A 12-style transitional serif rooted in the late 18th-century tradition, spanning six weights with matching italics and a range of OpenType features suited to editorial and brand work.

About

Hawkland draws on the sharp, high-contrast characteristics of late 18th-century Transitional typefaces, delivering a clean and precise appearance across six weights from Thin to Black. Each weight is accompanied by a true italic, giving twelve styles in total. OpenType features include small caps, oldstyle and lining figures, superiors, inferiors and multiple fraction variants, making it adaptable across text setting, headline use and packaging.

Classification

Designed explicitly in the Transitional style of the late 18th century, with the crisp stroke contrast, vertical stress and sharp serifs characteristic of typefaces from that period, such as those by Baskerville or Fournier.
