I agree that Svbtle and Medium have a similar look and overall design sensibility. But in the interest of giving credit where it is due...

Svbtle's announcement is dated March 22, 2012

Medium's announcement is dated October 29, 2012

(not to mention Obtvse)

So, I think Dustin deserves some credit for originality on this one.
