LT Superior Light Italic

LT Superior Light Italic font by LyonsType is a free light italic sans serif font. Part of the LT Superior family, it leans with a quiet confidence—sleek strokes, soft curves, and airy spacing that give emphasis without shouting. The gentle slant adds motion while the light weight keeps copy crisp and breathable, making notes and side remarks feel intentional rather than apologetic.

Using LT Superior Light Italic, you get clean emphasis for captions, pull quotes, figure labels, UI microcopy, product specs, and editorial sidebars. Its open forms maintain clarity at small sizes, while the rhythm stays even in longer lines. Pair this free font with LT Superior Regular for body text; set the italic a size up or add a touch more tracking for effortless hierarchy.
