Whitby & Signage:
This type is a script font however it is quite light in its line weight and therefore appears rather thin/brittle/small this matches the café because it is quaint. This style of font I feel does originate with bone due to its thin and thick line weights and somewhat handwritten feel.
The type which is used on here is similar to the canal barges I have looked at previously, it is a form of hand rendered signage painting. However this typography is an upper case serif. The strong serif does resemble much of the historical element which they are trying to portray through "victorian" along with the older photographs and film photography. This type is therefore definitely created through the origin of stone.
The signage for the museum is hand rendered and crafted which resembles the "jet works". Workers would find Jet jewels and make them into jewellery. Therefore the hand rendered signage portrays the craftsmanship of the history.
In comparison to other signage which I saw in Whitby this seemed quite modern. Even though they have used a serif font, the use of black and white really makes it seem quite progressive and clean cut. This typeface definitely has the origin of stone due to its serifs and line widths which were originally created by chipping into stone.
