Broad heavy clean sans
Magoat is a broad heavy sans in white on black: wide capitals with compact triangular A counters, thick even strokes, flat terminals and tight spacing, set as one line with a small tracked line beneath and a credit at the foot.

Sturdy stroke walls and open counters weed cleanly on adhesive vinyl, HTV apparel film, and cut cardstock.
Visual anatomy & craft review
The plate is a minimal dark screen: one word, one small line, one credit, and nothing else, which is the right way to present a face whose virtue is legibility at weight. The drawing is a broad heavy sans with a triangular A counter and an even stroke, so the face reads as a modern corporate display rather than as a poster face, and the tight spacing makes the word a block. That construction sets a moderate size floor, because the triangular counter and the tight fit close first. The two small lines are product copy that name the style and the studio. Because the letters are wide and clean, the face suits a mark, a heading and a sign, and it is comfortable at a range of sizes rather than only at display scale.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Magoat’s stroke geometry.
A broad heavy mark reads at a glance on a garment, and the even stroke survives embroidery where a contrast face would not.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the mark at 18 pt on a card and 90 mm on a back print, then stitch a 70 mm version at 20 mm cap height. Keep the narrowest counter at 2.5 mm for stitch and one thread colour.
Pre-production check
Check the stitch file at actual size, where a 2.5 mm counter can close; keep it open. Confirm the mark reads at five metres on a back print and that the embroidery has no jump stitches.
A heavy sans gives an annual a title that lands at thumbnail size, and the wide letters fill a measure with one word. The wide letters fill a measure.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the title at 100 mm cap height across 200 mm, the subtitle in a 9 pt sans, and the year at 7 pt. Print one ink on a coated stock and keep 22 mm margins at the head.
Pre-production check
Check the title at 100 mm, where a tight counter can close; keep it above 4 mm. Confirm the 7 pt year survives lamination and that the title clears the trim.
A clean heavy sign reads from a car park, and the even stroke holds on a large panel without a decorated face. It reads from a car park.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Fabricate a 1,200 by 350 mm panel: the hall at 130 mm cap height, the hours in a 24 mm sans, and a 4 mm rule. Keep 26 mm margins and specify a matte finish.
Pre-production check
Check the panel at 130 mm, where a triangular counter can fill in metal; keep it above 8 mm. Confirm the 24 mm hours read at five metres and that the rule clears the fixings.
Technical & licence verification
Confirm included OTF/TTF/WOFF formats, full glyph tables and licence coverage on the live store page before batch production.
