Tech and Support

Our manic is derived from the typographic term for a little hand; manicule or manicula. So our foundry kiiiinnnd of means ‘hand type’, but Hand Type doesn’t sound as cool. So, Manic Type. Cause we’re edgy, nerdy, and handy.

Unfortunately we cannot issue refunds for software licenses. If, however, it is a technical problem, please do get in touch! We want you to be happy with your purchase.
