Stern is a typographic first: it marks the first time a font is simultaneously released both digitally and in metal. Stern, named for the late printer Christopher Stern, is an upright Italic intended for poetry settings and numerous other uses. Colin Kahn has expanded the Pro digital version (originally designed by Jim Rimmer) for a variety of options.
Four non-pro versions are included for applications that do not support OpenType. The set features Stern Aldine (Small x-height Caps with standard lower case), Regular, Tall Caps (with standard lc) & Small Caps with x-height caps in place of lc).

The (16pt on 18pt body) metal version for letterpress printers is available in limited quantities. Click for more information.
