UnCommon Beat are self funding a beautiful typographical pack through Kickstarter.

A deck of playing cards built on an uncommon concept which brings us together in an unique way.

Revealed within the Black Book of Cards is a typographic design using type to create form and pattern covering each card with words like the pages within a book.
