C.C. Stern Type Foundry
On the 26th of March, C.C. Stern Type Foundry in Portland, Oregon opened it’s doors to the public. For a type fanatic like myself, it was a great opportunity to reconnect with the roots of mechanized typesetting. Thank you for the fabulous trip through time!!
“The mission of the C.C. Stern Type Foundry is to cultivate a unique connection between industry and the arts in the Pacific Northwest. For the first phase of the museum’s operation, our focus will be on relearning the skills and revitalizing the experiences of the working type foundry. The museum will provide educational programming, including live demonstrations of the foundry equipment and type casting processes….The Type Foundry provides a gathering place for type enthusiasts from all genres of study, connecting them with the Northwest’s printing history, as well as with national and international organizations devoted to typography, type casting and printing.” - ccsterntype.org
