Gemini Ignis2016

Gemini was inspired by the Heretic cards, specifically the 58th card, which features the Queen of Hearts both smiling and crying. The choice of the name Gemini is based on the peculiarity of the court cards (JQK). At first glance the figures of each card look perfectly symmetrical, but they are not. They are depicted as twins (Gemini in latin) but they are not identical, so you will see small differences when you look closely. The deck was designed with a classical medieval feeling. The aces are depicted as axes and the figures on the court cards interact with their own pip, which becomes part of the illustration. The pips (2 to 10) are big and they take a lot of space. The deck has an unconventional index, which is horizontal instead of vertical. Gemini Ignis features a red back and a tuckbox with red and gold hot foil on thick black paper with embossing.
