The Classic Four Card Suits in Digital Typography
Originating in 14th-century French card decks, the four suits—Spades (Piques), Hearts (Cœurs), Diamonds (Carreaux), and Clubs (Trèfles)—represent the four classes of medieval society (nobility, clergy, merchants, and peasants). Today, they are some of the most frequently typed symbols on keyboards worldwide for card room chats, casino streams, and social media handles.
