+Minim Playing Cards
I don’t play cards very often but I’m fond of this extravagantly ascetic take on the familiar 52-card deck. The numbers are typeset in a functionally spare sans-serif face and the suits are abstracted into simple geometric shapes. The product name for them is Minim playing cards and there’s a design that’s all white and another that’s all black. At just US$10 each, they will give you a modest slice of luxury for a surprisingly reasonable price. Available at areaware.com.
