Friends of Type is an amazing typographic collective and visual blog created by Erik Marinovich, Aaron Carambula, Jason Wong, and Dennis Payongayong. The constant stream of beautifully rendered type that shows up on the site has made them one of my "go to" daily sites. Nice work, gents.

A look through his portfolio or a quick thumb through your collection of Field Notes (you know you have some one your desk) and it becomes clear he's been quite successful at that.
