Introducing the World of Fontaine Playing Cards - Deckita Decks

Introducing the World of Fontaine Playing Cards

Fontaine is a well-known brand in the world of Cardistry and playing card collecting. Founded in 2013 by the young entrepreneur Zach Mueller, the company has established a reputation for producing high-quality, visually stunning decks of cards.

Zach Mueller's brand followed with the creation of his own deck of cards featuring a minimalist design, featuring a simple mirror image of a lower case letter 'f' and was not initially intended to be a major undertaking. A modern take on a classic.

One of the things that sets Fontaine Cards apart from other playing card companies is their commitment to innovation and creativity. They are constantly experimenting with new printing techniques, and design elements to create unique and memorable decks. An example would be their holographic print series which has launched modern playing cards into a new direction.

In addition to their regular deck releases, Fontaine Cards also collaborates with other companies and artists to create limited edition decks. These collaborations allow them to bring new and exciting designs to their fans, and also help to support and promote other artists in the industry. Some of their recent collaborations include decks with artist DabsMyla from Australia, featuring beautiful floral coloured art.

The attention to detail and level of craftsmanship that goes into each collaboration deck is truly impressive. Featuring intricate, hand-drawn illustrations on the cards. These decks are sought after by collectors and are often considered works of art in their own right.
