MANIC Font

MANIC is a handwritten font created by Laura Eddy and released through TYPEHEIST. It looks like someone actually wrote it by hand: relaxed, friendly and a little imperfect in a good way. The free download includes five styles, and you can try every one of them with your own text in the preview above.

What You Can Type With MANIC

With complete upper and lowercase letters and all ten digits, MANIC is ready for real wording, not just a single headline. Common punctuation such as &, !, ? and @ is included as well. It also has the accented letters you need for Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian.

Where MANIC Works Best

Think of MANIC for greeting cards, journal pages and friendly social posts. Set it a bit larger than you would a normal text font. Handwriting styles lose their charm once they get too small to read comfortably. Because the family has more than one style, you can mix them in a single design for headings, subheadings and highlights.
