Typeface Tarot
February 25, 2011 § 11 Comments
What do you get when someone with no artistic ability decides to create a tarot deck? That’s right, you’re looking at it. The Typeface Tarot is a majors-only deck in which the only thing allowed on each card is the name of that card. All meaning has to be conveyed through choice of font alone.
The Typeface Tarot is mine – I made it by ruthlessly appropriating the creative talents of font designers who foolishly made their work available for free on FontSpace. Mwa-ha-ha!
I, in turn, have made the Typeface Tarot free – if you want it, you can have it, as long as you don’t mind downloading it and printing it out yourself (ah, there’s always a catch).
Anyway, here are some of the cards. Click here to see more!

The TABI email beat you to the punch. I got their email 2 days (I think) before you posted this up on your bloggie. You are a clever clogs. I particularly like the Magician!
very clever 🙂
I’m a font junkie.
An interesting approach, one just lets the words and the fronts stimulate an image in their mind. Clever idea!
Thanks everyone! I’m just impressed I managed to finish something… 😉
Bea, the Magician is my favourite too.
Sharyn, I have only just discovered the wonderful world of typography. Who knew something as simple as the shape of a letter could be so infinitely various and beautiful? 🙂
Helen, nice to hear from you! Hope all is well…
Thank you very much for such a brilliant deck.
Thank you natachpong!
Very interesting 🙂 Love the fonts.
Thanks Wendy!
What’s this tarot feng shui?
Sounds stupid, but is oddly genius… Yes… I can totally feel the cards with font alone!! You may not have the drawing skill, but u sure have creativity!
Thank you Ha’Sara’Ka! “Oddly genuis” – I like it 😉
