Typography enthusiasts will love these [colorful playing cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/billie-eilish-uno-deck) inspired by the famous Helvetica font created by Max Meidinger. To date, Helvetica is one of the most popular fonts used on the Internet.

These Helvetica cards by Fab are a fresh combination of a vibrant and [minimalist aesthetic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blvck-paris-and-uno). Each card ingeniously features the name of the specific card printed in the world-renowned Helvetica font. Rather than the traditional diamond, spade, heart and club categories, these Helvetica cards are creatively divided up by the technicolor blue, black, yellow and pink CMYK printing colors. On the back of the card are four diagonal lines featuring all the colors.

If you know someone that's into [typography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/font-guesser), pick these Helvetica font playing cards as a charming gift for them.
