It's the 2nd project by Old Gravity. 1st project was Alis Luminis.

$17 per deck, $6 worldwide shipping.

Card details:
Metallic gold or Rose gold foiled card back with a beautiful swan design.
54 artistically designed face cards with metallic ink rim.
Printed by NPCC in 310 gsm Premium German Linen Card Stock.
Fulfillment and shipping done by NPCC worldwide with individual tracking numbers.
Every face card is digitally hand-drawn by the artist including Aces and Jokers.
Unique custom pips for each deck.
Unique number card layout for each suit.
Tuck box details:
The tuck box is intricately designed, with beautiful embossing throughout. Sourced from 2 card stocks, the two editions of our deck, Summer Gold and Summer Rose are dual-foiled with a rich metallic-gold or rose-gold base, coupled with a beautiful blue foiling, a homage to the enriching power of the warmer days.

Features of the tuck box:
Premium Italian colored cardstock
In two variations: Summer Gold and Summer Rose
Summer Gold: Oceanic green card stock, dual-foiled with metallic gold and metallic cyan.

Summer Rose: Bluish gray card stock, dual-foiled with rose gold and metallic cyan.

All sides embossed with beautiful motifs.
All sides hot press dual-foiled.
Connected tuck box design across four volumes.
Being an NPCC deck, the tuck will be lovely and it's a pure art deck, so no worries about handling then.

Here's the pictures of the whole deck. IMHO, this deck definitely shows the artist developing her art style from the 1st deck.

Her 1 year's work definitely better than most of the 'meh' decks who claimed they took years to develop. The courts are good enough to hang on your wall as individual art pieces themselves, if you're into that art style. It is a little pricey. EB is at $15 per deck, with $6 shipped.

The tuck of the first campaign was extremely underwhelming. So be careful too assume NPCC tuck are always a banger.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

I was basing it off my experience with some of Nicolai's decks. so yeah, that's not a very big sample size.

To chime in I think the truck render is confusing in some ways. The pips along the side vs the heavy embossing for example. I don't know, it could go either way. It'll probably be one of those cardstock situations in the end.

This deck is very pretty and the theme is quite nice. I think we all know my issue with it though. Yep, it's the pips. Me don't like the leaf so much. Sure it's fun and all that but me only picks up a deck with intention of us. This is one of those situations that's an ain't gonna use the thing. Even so, I'm a fence sitter because the theme is wonderful and I do dig on the branches bit. :| Just those darn pips and that blasted font.
TL:DR It's completely up to you.

I've made my pledge to this deck. I like it a lot. Very soft yet beautiful. Art work I feel is quite well done. Looking forward to seeing Volumes 2, 3 and 4.

These are available around the web for those that missed them - x-decks has them for 18.50, nearly the KS price, and cheaper shipping than the KS…
