(x) type on playing cards - Card Characters {James}

funnycaff

Hello all,

I have hunted high and low for an answer, I am hoping you can help! Please check out the following page:

http://www.gamesandprint.co.uk/cardeng.htm

The font used on the corner of these cards (i.e. 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A) - can anyone help me ID it? It seems pretty standard across most of the english/UK decks I've played with.

Thanks!
Martin

I don't know about official card type (perhaps not even a font) but Harold Lohner made a font called Card Characters. derived from Bicycle cards. Should be what you're looking for.

Maybe 'Game Pi' ( English Cards ), may be helpful, as well.? :)

Thanks James - that looks ideal!
