The aptly named A Typographer's Deck is a unique creation from Art of Play that was produced in
collaboration with Turkish artist Furkan Sener.
Typography is the practical art of
arranging how the printed word appears on the page, and includes things like fonts, letters, and
symbols, and how they are designed and presented. This deck is considered to be a celebration of the
art of typography, and Furkan Sener has designed 54 completely custom cards that feature a variety
of typefaces from different eras, so each card is a miniature work of art, displaying what a
typographer might do with the name of each card.
Yet despite the creative designs, clear
indices ensure that this deck is still functional and playable.
The card backs feature a
detailed design with a monochrome look that brings to mind the shapes of letters and symbols woven
together in an intricate pattern. As a nice finishing touch, the tuck case has a look that
complements the card backs.
Art of Play's Typographer's Deck is a stylish and creative deck
that should please anyone with an interest in typography, or in collecting unique decks of creative
playing cards. - BoardGameGeek reviewer EndersGame
Beautiful to admire, and especially ideal for collectors
