Stern Pro font by Canada Type is the only typeface to be produced and marketed simultaneously in digital and metal. In the twenty-first century, no less. It is also the last typeface Jim Rimmer ever completed. The process he used for its design and manufacture is the stuff of legend, and can be seen in the Richard Kegler documentary, Making Faces: Metal Type in the 21st Century. The design is a delicate upright italic named in memory of Chris Stern, the late artist and printer from Washington State.

In 2013, Canada Type remastered and expanded the design’s offerings to a glyphset of over 1200 characters, updated programming. Now Stern Pro includes the following features:

– Small caps.

– A wide variety of alternates for both uppercase and lowercase letters.
