These face cards are great, and I like the theme. My first gut react was to NOT like various arrangement of the pips, but after like two seconds I realized that it doesn't bother me. I thought it would, but it doesn't.

Then I was curious about the back design so I had to go check out the Kickstarter.

Thanks for sharing this one. I probably wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

**This is just my opinion. I'm rarely this petty.**

With that said, I'm surprised that typeface (Goodfellow, et al.) hasn't gone the way of Comic Sans.

Asylum,
Royal Mischief,
The Smoke.

P laying C ards  >:(  There's no cohesion there.

I like these quite a bit otherwise. That type is a deal killer for me. Good design has good type.
