Charles and Ray Eames created the House of Cards in 1952. They worked in and made major contributions to modern architecture and furniture and in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art, and film. House of cards was the most successful toy of Charles and Ray Eames, a series of cards printed with images that could be built into three-dimensional structures of various shapes and sizes.

For the Squid Game’s house of cards set, the card's front side featured type anatomy from one typeface. The backside of the cards featured a combination of imagery, graphics, and pattern. Pattern creations made from Puzzler, a pattern typeface designed by Zuzana Licko in 2005 found, were part of the backside of the cards. Overall, this project aimed to make 10 cards and a card box with aesthetic considerations using a specific typeface, theme, and Modernist Era inspiration.
