Try 'font-lock-face instead of 'face:
(insert
(propertize "Type'd up" 'font-lock-face 'font-lock-type-face))
As for :eval that doesn't do anything. It is just
a marker that says this should be evaluated (each
time) but this has to be implemented in each case (or
"somewhere else" if this is a convention - its in
`mode-line-format' as well).
The reason you can't do it with a backtick and commas
is if so that would evaluate only once (when you
`setq' the variable) but as time (sadly) flies, you
want it to be set each time and this has to be
implemented, and :eval is one way to do so.
