Depth
a system that rewards depth, nuance and time well spent over sensational, surface-level stories Published
The system
Fixed, everywhere
- Wordmark alone, black or white
- GT Super headlines, Söhne UI
- Near-black pill buttons
- Cream or white ground with near-black text
- Text first: one message per screen
The one thing that varies
Illustration and color: from none (product, reading) to a two-color collage on the homepage to the full secondary palette in brand campaigns.

Personality and voice
Thoughtfulbut not highbrowOur reading
Quietbut not dullOur reading
Humanbut not nostalgicOur reading
Candidbut not corporateOur reading
A writing platform keeps its own voice quiet so writers are heard (our reading of the 2020 post: the brand should never get in the way).
Full spec
- Sentence case headlines
- Write as “we”, to “you”
- American spelling
- No exclamation marks
- Buttons are a verb plus one word: Start reading, Get started, Sign in (observed)
plainwarmthoughtfulcandid
Product voice is spare and declarative ("Human stories & ideas", "Start reading"). The about page speaks in we/you about depth, nuance and writing that matters. Design posts are candid and wry about Medium's own history.
- Sentence case everywhere (observed)
- We and you (observed)
- Short, concrete verbs on buttons (observed)
- No hype, no exclamation marks on marketing pages (observed)
- Two voices. The homepage and product UI are spare: a 3-word headline, a 9-word subline, 2-word buttons, sentence case, no punctuation flourishes (observed). A landing page follows this voice.
- Brand and design posts are candid, first-person and lightly funny about Medium itself (published examples: the 2024 logo post opens by admitting the logo changed again). Use that voice only for long-form posts about the company.
- The about page states beliefs plainly: what you read and write matters; depth and nuance over sensational takes; substance over packaging; supported by members, not ads (published, paraphrased).

Logo
Using the wordmark alone is, in Medium's words, an embrace of the human-typed word; the cropped "Me" implies more beyond the frame and nods to first-person writing (published).
Full spec
- The wordmark is the first choice wherever the space is not a 1:1 container: press images, banners, responsive sites, video thumbnails (published)
- Clear space on all sides = the wordmark's height (30px tall needs 30px clear) (published)
- Black or white only; it may sit on photos or colored grounds with adequate contrast (published)
- If the container is 1:1 and enclosed, use the cropped icon; anywhere else, the full wordmark (published rule, 2024)
- The icon is a secondary identifier, used once Medium is already established; black or white; clear space = icon height (published)
- Never alter, modify or redraw the wordmark or icon (published)
- Don’t color the wordmark, apply a gradient or fill it with an image
- Don’t squeeze the full wordmark into a square
- Don’t reintroduce the ellipsis symbol
- Don’t redraw or retype the wordmark in GT Super or a stand-in font
| Primary | Wordmark only, black or white |
|---|---|
| Clear space | X = wordmark height, all sides |
| Icon | "Me" crop, 1:1 enclosed containers only |
| Min size | not published |
| On site | 112.3x25, #242424 (observed) |
Medium signs with its wordmark alone: a custom serif modified from GT Super, smoother and tighter than its 2017-2020 predecessor. The 2020 ellipsis symbol was dropped in 2024. In square, enclosed spaces Medium crops the wordmark so the M is centred and the e runs off the edge. On the homepage the wordmark is an inline SVG, 112.3x25, filled #242424.

Medium describes itself as a blank canvas for other people's writing, which black and white represent; the secondary palette stands for the range of perspectives (published, 2020).
Full spec
- Core: black and white (published); on the site, near-black #242424 text on cream #F7F4ED (observed)
- Secondary colors only on marketing surfaces about the Medium brand (published, 2020; hexes not published)
- Buttons are near-black #191919, never a hue (observed)
- Green #34AA45 appears only inside illustration (observed)
- Wordmark black or white only (published)
- Don’t use green or any hue for text, links or buttons
- Don’t use pure white as the homepage ground (the site uses cream #F7F4ED)
- Don’t invent hex values for the 2020 secondary palette
| Ground | #F7F4ED |
|---|---|
| Text | #242424 |
| Headline | #000000 |
| Button | #191919, hover #080808 |

| Dark mode | #171717 / #121212 / #E5E5E5 / #D2D2D2 |
The brand leans on black and white; color is reserved for marketing illustration. The logged-out homepage (2026-10-30) is one warm cream #F7F4ED ground with #242424 ink, a #000000 headline, #191919 pill buttons and #6B6B6B footer links. The only hue on the page is the illustration green #34AA45. Dark mode swaps to #171717 / #121212 grounds, #E5E5E5 text and white pills.

Graphic elements
Human stories & ideas
One GT Super sentence owns the first screen · the hero of every logged-out marketing page
Start reading
Black pill, plain label · every primary action (nav and hero)
Do One #F7F4ED ground from top to bottom; structure comes only from two 1px #242424 full-bleed rules (under the nav, above the footer). No cards, shadows, gradients or panels.
Cream page held by hairlines · nav, hero and footer
Do The GT Super-derived Medium wordmark with no symbol, black (#242424 on the site) or white only, clear space = its height on all sides; in a 1:1 enclosed container use the cropped "Me" icon instead.
Wordmark alone, black or white · nav and anywhere the brand signs
Do A still collage of flat #34AA45 green shapes (a flower, a rectangle with a hand holding a pencil cut out of it) and #242424 engraving-style linework (a geometry diagram with lettered points, dotted arcs, eight-point stars, dashed line) with a grainy printed edge; 460x600, cropped by the viewport's right edge; transparent background over the cream.
Printed two-color collage bleeding off the edge · the right side of the desktop hero only
Specimens use sample copy, not Medium’s.
Text first (published, 2024).
Full spec
- 1px #242424 hairlines under the nav and above the footer (observed)
- Pills for actions, nothing else rounded (observed)
- No cards, shadows, gradients or icons on the homepage (observed)
- Don’t add cards, badges or icon rows
- Don’t add drop shadows
| Rule | 1px solid #242424, full bleed |

There is no decorative device in the UI: the signature is restraint. Two full-bleed 1px #242424 rules frame the page; the only graphic is the hero illustration.

Illustration
Words building images showed what happens on Medium (published, 2020); the newer, warmer style matches the human-writing positioning (published, 2024; no rules for it yet).
Full spec
- Hero illustration: one still image, desktop only (>=904px), 460x600, at x = max(782, viewport - 460) so it bleeds off the right edge on narrower desktops (observed)
- Two inks only: green #34AA45 and #242424, transparent ground so the page cream shows (observed)
- Motifs: hand-drawn or printed objects (flower, writing hand with pencil) collaged with scientific diagram linework and stars (observed)
- The 2024 style has no published rules: Medium said more would follow (published)
- Don’t use stock photos or 3-D renders in the hero
- Don’t tint the illustration to another color
- Don’t place text over it
| Hero image | 460x600, right-edge bleed |

Two eras. 2020 (COLLINS): "language as illustration", images built from letters and words, sometimes 3-D or moving, sometimes interlaced with photography, inspired by concrete poetry. 2024 on: Medium says it is moving away from those ASCII-style text illustrations toward a warmer, more human approach on the logged-out homepage and blog images. The current homepage collage: flat green #34AA45 shapes with grainy printed edges plus black engraving-style diagram linework, on transparent, 1152x1504 source shown at 460x600.

Page anatomy
How Medium’s own landing pages are built, observed on medium.com/%20(logged%20out), 2026-10-30. The full measurements are in spec.md.
- Navigation
- One 76px cream bar (75px + a 1px #242424 bottom rule), fixed to the top. Wordmark at the left edge of the 1192px container; four plain text links and a black pill CTA at its right edge. No dropdowns, no icons, no search.
- Hero
- The whole first screen is one cream field: a two-line GT Super sentence, a Söhne subline and one black pill on the left; a two-color printed collage illustration (green #34AA45 shapes, #242424 linework) pinned to the right viewport edge on desktop only.
- Between hero and footer: nothing
- The logged-out homepage has no sections between the hero and the footer. The 1px #242424 footer rule sits directly under the cream hero field. Build no section here.
- Footer
- A 69px cream strip under a 1px #242424 rule: one centred row of small grey text links. No logo, no columns, no copyright line, no address, no social icons.
