Still can't believe they laid out Everything Is Tuberculosis in Bembo just because I love Pietro Bembo so much.
From the copyright page of Everything Is Tuberculosis: This book is laid out in Bembo, a typeface named for Cardinal Pietro Bembo. In 1496, Bembo (the person) wrote the first book to be laid out in Bembo (the font). It’s a short book, a dialogue with his father about climbing Mount Etna. At one point in the story, Bembo asks his father, “Where do these fires come from, and, once they’ve come into being, how do they keep going?” These questions are about the volcanic fires of Mount Etna, but it seems to me they are also about the overall human situation. I have tried to write here about where the fire of tuberculosis came from, and once it came into being, how it kept going. And so Bembo felt like the right font.

Show me a comic page you love; no explanation needed.
Questionable Content by Jeph Jacques: an out-of-continuity comic featuring Bembo the Bembarian. Another barbarian asks "Bembo, what is best in life?" to which Bembo replies "HAM!" then presses the ham against the other man's face saying "haaaaaaaam"

Bembo what is best in life

Opera composer Antonia Bembo fled Venice in 1677 to escape her abusive husband, leaving behind her children and a failed divorce lawsuit. Her work in Paris has languished in archives for over 300 years – but her opera "Ercole Amante" will finally premiere at Paris' Opéra Bastille May 28.
Antonia Bembo fled Venice to escape her abusive husband – over three centuries later, her opera finally takes the stage
Due to the vagaries of her music manuscripts and the historical neglect of women composers, Bembo and her opera were overlooked for centuries.

My favorite thing for filling pages at the end of a novel.

A note on the type!
The text of this book is set in Bembo, which was first used in 1495 by the Venetian printer Aldus Manutius for Cardinal Bembo's De Aetna. The original types were cut for Manutius by Francesco Griffo. Bembo was one of the types used by Claude Garamond (1480-1561) as a model for his Romain de l'Université, and so it was a forerunner of what became the standard European type for the following two centuries. Its modern form follows the original types and was designed for Monotype in 1929.
