London-based strategic brand design agency Intertype Studio have created a limited-edition deck of playing cards as a tribute to the Kings and Queens of the NHS and keyworkers, with all funds raised going to charity.

Founder and Creative Director, Asa Cook decided to use the time during lockdown to create something meaningful and beautifully designed that celebrates those who have put themselves on the front line fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

Asa explains: “I hope that these cards will act as a long-lasting reminder of the dedication and bravery of the keyworkers during the crisis and our own personal experiences of the unprecedent times we’re living through.” Whilst Asa and his team created the playing card packaging and back designs, he collaborated with 18 artists and illustrators from around the globe – both well-known names and up-and-coming talent – to create unique and symbolic card designs that are representative of the COVID Heroes and Heroines.
