Originally launched on Kickstarter in 2020, Bold was my first solo project – a modern reinterpretation of the American standard popularised by Bicycle® Playing Cards.
Typographic elements shape the faces, figures, and decorative details, while the back design echoes the rhythm and structure of the iconic Rider Back.
Now, five years later, Bold Slab introduces new jokers, updated packaging, and a shift from a classic serif to a slab serif typeface, turning a bold idea into part of the Bicycle® brand’s legacy.
Printed in 2025 by The United States Playing Card Company on their classic grade stock and featuring copper metallic ink on both the faces and backs of the cards.
