Based on the output produced using your advice, I came up the the
following query to help me list my type definitions:

CREATE VIEW public.complex_types AS
SELECT
  n.nspname,
  c.relname,
  a.attname,
  pg_catalog.format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod),
  a.attnotnull,
  a.atthasdef,
  a.attnum,
  nspacl
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c
     LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace
     LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_attribute a ON a.attrelid = c.relfilenode
WHERE pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)
      AND c.relkind = 'c'
ORDER BY
    n.nspname,
    c.relname,
    a.attnum
