The annual newsletter for the C.C. Stern Type Foundry is on press! This year we selected 12pt. Monotype Modern No. 8 (8A) for the body text, complemented with Linotype Bodoni and decorative border material. Seems like the process of casting was a bit rougher than years past — first a mould that we decided was too worn and needed to be swapped out, then a matrix for a single letter that was casting too low, followed by random substitutions of letters for unit spaces. Ack. All those issues meant that the print runs were also challenging, and far more time consuming than they should have been. As always, I learned a lot in the process, and was reminded of how much more there is to learn.
