*Play Black Sabbath's Iron Man in the background*

Title: Type Anatomy Iron Man

Marvel movie nut, so when I saw this pic, I had to post it. Every line shown is a letter; Even the omi repulsor in the center of the chest is an @ colored in a soft blue hue akin to the glowing arc reactor of the film adaptation. What helps further is the descriptive flags pointing out easy to miss details such as x-height, typeface, ligatures, etc.  The color scheme really helps because its iron man's iconic red and gold; bright, flashy and easy to spot across the room.

Only down side is it a simple Book antiqua illustration. Just iron man standing there. Staring back. Would be better if it was made doing a action such as flight or about to fire a repulsor.
