I kinda dig the pip layout, if it just wasn't so piled into the  middle  center of the card. The Aces/kings and Jokers on the other hand, I dislike with an unfocused maniacal rage.

The numbers are really original, although the centre of the hearts looks too close together. The aces and court cards look just wrong to me, really random gradients and the typography is weird.

The pips are really nice from 2-8.  Squeezing the last remaining pips in the middle for 9 & 10 is a little to "forced" for me. But it is a nice original (but not user-friendly) way of laying out the pips

The Ace i think looks horrible. The jokers are ok. The courts...i'm think he can do something else in the middle rather then telling us the suits

Yeesh.  All the worst aspects of a typographical deck, inconsistently displayed through the deck...  I "definitely" will pass.
