Looking for typographical designs

[Montag]

I've read many topics tonight on the forum and found out that many card companies are active in here. So here is my request from you guys : Would any of you think about designing some typographic decks ?
What I have in mind is decks like The Helveticards or the recently KS founded Vanda deck.

I love my Helveticards so much that I can't hold myself from grabbing and looking at them regularly. I would like to have different types of decks with different fonts and/or designs.

Montag, are you JenX5 on Flickr?

Actually I doubt playing card producers which are mostly discussed on this forum will produce typographic playing cards. They are focused on cardistry and magic needs (collecting is still a question of minor importance for them) and typographic playing cards are useless for these purposes. So we can only hope for appropriate kickstarter projects of independent artists.

Anyway I guess these links can be interesting for you:

These links are from a week of typographic playing cards on Twitter I had several months ago. I had an idea to make a special thread on UC dedicated to this type of playing cards but than I changed my mind. Maybe I’ll renew that week of typographic playing cards on my new Tumblr blog.

Thanks for the reply Collector. No, I'm not Jenx5. I haven't checked the links yet but I'm curious if those decks are printed decks. I'm gonna check them right now. I did a very thorough scan on the net for similar decks when I first discovered the Helveticards and couldn't find anything. I hope that these are accessible decks.

Ok now I'm starting to remember. I've found some of these decks back in the day. Especially the ones on the Behance network. I've even contacted some of the artists. The problem with these artists is that they do create the project, exhibit it on the artistic network of their choice and then they just disappear into the thin air Most of them didn't even respond to me and some did not have any contact details on their pages. I've placed an order for one particular deck which didn't arrive and the artist didn't respond to my inquiries.

But your links seem to have a few printed decks with the creator's contact details. Most of these are not so clean and simple designs like Vanda or Helveticards but a few of them did catch my eye. I'm gonna do some lobbying to convince them to start funding on KS just to satisfy my own collecting needs

Wow these are wonderful. I've contacted them and waiting for their response but it seems like that they're out of business.
