Produced by Art of Play in collaboration with Paula Scher, Jeff Close and Kristin Huber from renowned design studio, Pentagram, Just Type is a modern reinterpretation of classic playing card design.
Widely regarded as a titan of the graphic design world, redefining what we know as modern typography, Scher has playfully deconstructed the classic French design of traditional "playing cards" and removed all extraneous elements. All that's left is Just Type.
The First Edition embraces big, bold postmodern elements. Oversized numbers constructed of simple shapes fill the entirety of each card. While each composition could stand on its own as a piece of art, taken together, this collection of 56 images represents a totally unique approach to a familiar form factor. Each number and letter is pushed to the breaking point, shattered into elemental pieces that evoke abstraction, yet communicate so clearly, they can be read from across the room.

About Art of Play

Art of Play travel the world in search of objects designed to dazzle the eyes, fascinate the mind and spread wonder. From luxurious playing cards to ingenious puzzles and stimulating amusements - each beautiful item in their catalogue holds a whisper of mystery, brimming with potential for surprise and delight.
Just as a telescope does not include answers about the universe, wonder is never a guarantee - a sense of wonder, the experience of awe, lives freely within us. The questions we ask, the answers we seek, and the openness to understanding embrace us with concern. So like teaching a child to paint, Art of Play aims to empower all people to explore their curiosity.

When do items restock?
We typically replenish stock every 2-4 weeks however, some products in our catalogue are of a limited print-run and therefore require outsourcing from third parties. This process adds additional time and uncertainty and in some instances, results in items being removed from our store due to an inability to source stock or find product at the right price. In this case, the product in question will end up in our Archive - a dedicated space for all decks that have been listed on our store but that are no longer available to purchase.
