This Joker was designed by the Greek artist, Dimitrios Kyriazis. Such a strange combination of the Hatter from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and the “V”, a Guy Fawkes-masked vigilante from James McTeigue’s V for Vendetta.

These Optima Typographic playing cards were designed by the American artist Michael Lemma as a project for college. He was assigned Optima type face and had to make playing cards out of the type face. The way he got his shapes and unique look for the face cards was a “happy accident”. Michael hit the align tool in illustrator and got these unique looking shapes. So he played around with different letters & numbers to create an interesting look. The artist decided that red and black colours fit this deck the best.
Michael printed them on cardboard and cut them by himself. But he is going to print them on casino cardboard.
