NY-based multidisciplinary creator Joe Doucet strikes again: this deck of regulation playing cards called MINIM is an exercise in editing and stripping things down to the edge of comprehension.

The already fairly straightforward and classic signs for hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades have been reduced to minimalistic geometric symbols. My personal favorite is the spades, and the diagonal mark across the back of the cards is so brilliantly simple it could've always been there.

The deck will be available as a limited edition along with seven other products at Doucet's Play exhibition in the Wanted Design NYC pop-up store in from May 17th-20th.
