Mediator specimen from ParaType

A contemporary sans serif in 30 styles across three widths, designed by Manvel Shmavonyan and released by ParaType in 2016, with small caps and old-style figures in the upright cuts.

About

Mediator spans eight weights with matching italics in its standard width, plus seven narrow and seven condensed styles without italics, running from Thin to Extra Bold. The slightly extended proportions of the normal width suit both display and body text, while the inclusion of small caps and old-style figures adds typographic flexibility for editorial and long-form work. The family covers Latin and Cyrillic scripts.

Classification

A contemporary sans serif with balanced proportions across three widths, combining display-friendly weights with text-optimised characteristics. The inclusion of small caps and old-style figures, alongside extended, narrow and condensed widths, places it in the humanist sans tradition.
