Miedinger
sans-serifneo-grotesque
A neo-grotesque sans-serif created in the spirit of mid-twentieth century Swiss typography, produced in the year of Helvetica's 50th anniversary.
About
Miedinger takes its name and its point of departure from the designer of Helvetica, situating itself firmly within the Swiss neo-grotesque tradition. The font emerged from Canada Type's engagement with Helvetica's anniversary in 2007 and the long-running debates around that typeface's legacy and influence. It reflects the studio's own reading of the genre rather than a direct copy of any single historical source.
