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.
