Manic Type is a Toronto-based independent type foundry founded in 2022 by Jamie Chang. The studio focuses on expressive, experimental type design that explores the tactile and emotional qualities of letterforms. Its name is inspired by the "manicule" symbol, underscoring a deep interest in the physical and symbolic gestures of typography. As a foundry partner with Type Network and Future Fonts, Manic Type has released standout typefaces such as Banger, Antic, Sudz, Picholine Antique, and AdGothic—ranging from thorny blackletter to playful graffiti and quirky grotesques.
