Perfect. Bold sigils, excellent pips with subtle distinguishing marks. Like the “coins” rather than “pentacles”. Amazing card stock, sturdy and somewhat stiff. Pack comes a little bowed, which disappears after a bit of use (and plying). Big cards. Shuffles well, but not as smoothly as linen cards (still five stars though). Back looks like the back of a nice playing card, fancy red swirls and lacings. The pictures are on a nice off-white parchment color, adding great character (I hate bright white paper and backgrounds). Sweet lettering. The “tattoo” elements are subdued, for which I am glad: they look more like old-fashioned wood-carving or renaissance figures. My favorite deck, and I have had and used very many.
