Stern in metal for hand composition
The (16pt on 18pt body) metal version of Stern is shipped from Pie Tree foundry in Vancouver, BC. It is cast to order by Jim Rimmer using foundry metal. Delivery may take a few weeks depending on when you order and where you live. A font, as seen in the photo, with approximately 14A 28a characters gets quite heavy, so shipping within the US or Canada is $30. Shipping to Europe $50, to Asia $80.
The response to the metal version of Stern has been overwhelming. The first Subscription Casting and is fully subscribed. Any orders placed at this time will not be filled for at least 2 months. Orders will be filled in the order they are received. Thank you for understanding.
