The C.C. Stern Type Foundry is a working museum of metal type and casting equipment, dedicated to preserving the heritage of America’s typecasting industry; educating visitors of all ages in the history of metal type and typography, its continued design influence and modern applications; and inspiring graphic artists and printers to pursue new directions using traditional practices.

With one of the largest collections of Monotype casting matrices in the United States, the C.C. Stern Type Foundry honors the memory of C. Christopher Stern, who built and operated the foundry at Stern & Faye, Printers, of Sedro-Woolley, Washington.

The Foundry is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is located in Northeast Portland. Open by appointment.
