Poker is cool. It’s an exciting game where you get to bluff and have fun with friends. For most people, poker also goes better with whisky and cigars.

For me, for some reason, whisky and cigars are associated with typography. I mean… just look at the whisky labels and you will know it’s made for people who like type.

Now people who love both type and poker get a new reason to rejoice: the Type Deck. These playing cards have a unique look-and-feel, using type only. Actually the set is so beautiful it would rejoice anyone who likes nice things.

Each card is a piece of art, some are even more than that and will really appeal to designers. The joker cards feature famous typographic sentence “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”. Initially designed for displaying the most letters in a short sentence, it will now find a good use in your hands.

The Type Deck was designed by Chris Cavill and can be purchased on the official website.
