Graphos Playing Cards
Designed by Michelle Lam | Country: Canada
“Graphos Playing Cards are designed to inspire other designers, and also lay people to be more attuned with design through an increased awareness of the importance of typography in a fun and easy-to-understand way.
Each card from the deck of Graphos Playing Cards will tell the unique story of a specific area of focus in typography. All spades highlight on the importance of “anatomy”; hearts on “classification”; clubs on “glyphs”; diamonds on “type setting”. Fonts are focused on sans serif, serif, script and decorative.”

I agree, get them mass produced!

Thank you for all the great compliments! I have got Graphos produced but now it’s sold out - only printed a couple decks because friends, teachers, classmates and other designers located in the same city wanted to purchase a deck or two. I’m really flattered to see other designers from different countries hoping to purchase Graphos. I’m thinking about producing more and sell them possibly on Etsy.

Yes, I am thinking about mass producing it in China since it is cheaper and quality is exceptional. I’m doing some research and will let all of you know
