While living on opposite ends of the coast, New York and San Francisco, Aaron Carambula and Erik Marinovich launched Friends of Type via iChat. It was a reservoir for both designers to share their love of illustrative type, whether it be hand drawn, digitized or found. Since its inception in September of last year, the duo have been diligently posting original and inspiring type explorations, while recruiting two other designers to add to the mix. Now the team of four have decided to release its first printed edition. By assigning a word to each of the designers, Friends of Type have created the letterpress set “Always Play Amongst Friends.” Limited to 100 pieces, each set contains four prints meticulously produced by Jordan Provost of enormouschampion. The set goes on sale today over at Friends of Type. More photos after the jump.
