typographic playing cards

london based design studio hat trick design has created their own set of playing cards using only
typographical elements. the deck of cards features the usual 52 cards and 4 suits each reinterpreted
using letters and numbers. each card is completely different representing the suit in a different way
each time using the number of the card. so the seven of hearts is represents using the number 7
arranged in a heart motif, while the queen of spades is represented using only the letter q arranged in
a spade motif. you can see the full deck in the video below and you can purchase the deck through their
online shop.
