Author's note

Arcus Italic by Samuel Carnoky of CarnokyTypes is a free high-contrast italic sans serif with a distinctly calligraphic build. Its slim, sweeping strokes lean sharply forward. Broad curves and tapered joins give the letters an elegant, restless silhouette.

Fashion editorial titles are its clearest setting, where the steep slant and dramatic stroke changes suit expressive photography. The same refined motion can shape perfume packaging, boutique branding, and music posters. Across these uses, the repeated arc-like curves can echo fabric folds, glass contours, or flowing stage lights.
