Gill Sans Typographic Playing Cards: Tuck Case
These typographic playing cards were designed by an American artist, Ashlyn Hicks. The typeface isn’t specified. These playing cards have interesting faces, but without suits they are also too innovative – read unpractical. The faces of suits are the same. Playing cards weren’t produced.

These nice Hat-Trick typographic playing cards were designed by Jim Sutherland from Hat-Trick design (UK). Jim made 50 copies of the deck for friends and colleagues (first edition). This is the second limited edition – 1000 copies were produced.
The deck: 52 different playing cards + 2 different Jokers + 1 information card (sketches) + 1 ad card. Bridge size. Playing cards printed on solid cardboard and have a smooth finish (plastic coated). This deck has very interesting plastic coating. It is the same for cards and the box. You can find such coating on covers of some modern books. It makes cards quite stiff. Playing cards are pleasant by touch.
