I don’t know how I managed to miss this bit of type nerdery for so long, but I just noticed these lyrics in “All Lifestyles”, from the Beastie Boys’ 2004 album To the 5 Boroughs:
So what’cha want? So what’cha need?
I’ve got the fonts you want to read
Get in the game you gotta scheme
One of these days, I’m going to have to properly build my list of songs that intersect with typography. I know there’s more than just this and “German Bold Italic” out there.
