Cotton Candy Edition Fontaines Sold Out. New Collab Fontaine Teased!

Fontaine Cards dropped the Cotton Candy Edition Fontaines yesterday for members only and they were sold out in 5 minutes. This is the second in a series of Fontaines printed with Neon Inks. These are the “wet” cards that took nearly 5 months for USPCC to produce. For this drop, Zach Mueller limited a maximum of 6 decks per person. The 6 decks are housed inside a letter-pressed small box.

Also, Zach teased the latest collab Fontaine on Social Media, the KOGAN CULT FONTAINES. Kirill Kogan is a Berlin-based artist and illustrator, originally from Moscow, Russia. He draws a lot of inspiration from video games, movies, and comics, with deep roots in skateboard culture. We’re definitely loving the raw style of his drawings. 

The deck will be available at the Fontaine shop this Saturday (April 24) from 3-6PM. A small portion of Cotton Candy Fontaines will also be available in the shop this weekend.

Deck View: Ephemerid (Deluxe Edition) Playing Cards

Unique. Historic. Collections.

EPHEMERID is a unique deck of playing cards successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2018 by French designer and blogger Fabien Barral. The deck is based on Mr. Cup's collection of Ephemera over the years. Each card comes with a unique design based on thousands of hand-letters, invoices, bills, tickets, and photos! 

The deck features 52 cards and 2 jokers- all fully custom and unique! Each suit has its own contrasting colors on the cards. Spades are black on white background, clubs are inverted with a white on black background, hearts are red on white, and diamonds with a white on a striking red background. Also, each court is associated with historic or mythical personages. For example, the King of Spades is David, Queen of Diamonds is Rachel and the Jack of Clubs is Lancelot!

The Deluxe Edition comes with a letter-pressed tuck box adorned with stunning Black, White, and Gold hot-stamped foil on dark paper.
