LT Superior Italic

LT Superior Italic font by LyonsType is a free italic sans serif font. Built within the LT Superior family, it solves a familiar problem: you need emphasis that reads cleanly, not theatrically. Its gentle lean, even rhythm, and low-contrast strokes keep text crisp at small sizes, while the neatly sheared terminals and open counters add a smooth, contemporary flow. Tight-but-consistent spacing gives it snap without crowding.

Using LT Superior Italic, your highlights feel confident in UI labels, captions, pull quotes, slide decks, data-viz annotations, and editorial subheads. This free font shines on motion graphics and agile brand systems where clarity matters. For an easy pairing, set body copy in the upright LT Superior and reserve the Italic for smart emphasis and navigational cues.
