Type Notes: 6
“The text of Superbad was set in a digitized version of Arcimboldo, a typeface long attributed to the Italian engraver and silversmith Paolo Arcimboldo, who lived in Parma in the first half of the eighteenth century. … Arcimboldo’s entire typographical oeuvre is limited to Arcimboldo and a second face, Ciottolo, which consists of pebbles arranged in a shallow bed of sand and viewed from the top of a tall tree, from which distance they look like type, a method that is relatively unwieldy in practical printing.”
Ben Greenman, from “A Note on the Type”
