          Embrace the {w^{mathrm{anterior}}} rather than the {i^{w}}. Also, mathrm for math-sized text.



          documentclass{article}
          begin{document}
          $i^{w^{mathrm{anterior}}}$
          end{document}

            You should also properly embrace arguments i^{w^{mathrm{anterior}}}

          If I understood you correctly, you want the superscripts have normalsize plus an sf shape, you can use mbox.



          documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
          begin{document}

          newcommand{mb}[1]{mbox{sffamily#1,}}
          $mb{i}^{mb{w}^{mb{anterior}}}$

          end{document}

          In your version {i^{w}}^{anterior}, the i is effectively raised to two separate exponents, causing them to appear side-by-side, which is not what you intend: enter image description here



          If you nest the braces as {i^{w^{anterior}}} then the stack of exponents is preserved, resulting in what appears to be your desired form: enter image description here



          (This is assuming it's stacked exponents that you're concerned with, not plain text formatting for superscripts as your example image might suggest. In that case, use AboAmmar's version.)

            Another good approach is operatorname{anterior} from amsmath, especially if you want two of these variables to appear consecutively.



            Personally, I would prefer to define newcommandanterior{operatorname{anterior}}, analogously to sin or log.

                      Another good approach is operatorname{anterior} from amsmath, especially if you want two of these variables to appear consecutively.



                      Personally, I would prefer to define newcommandanterior{operatorname{anterior}}, analogously to sin or log.
