SeanP's_Week5_Casey Sturm

Source: Sign at Sean Patrick's Irish Pub
Classification: Serif block letter, all cap, with old style serif
Description: The sign is merely meant for decoration, its one of many placed around the restaurant. The serif block type is reminiscent of high school sporting events, clean and clear, while the old style serif is more stylized.
Enhancement: The old style type is stylized and makes you think of old Ireland, while the block letter serif is clear and easy to read.
Influence: I feel like many of my type examples are reminders to myself to not stick to just one type but find an interesting contrast and balance in each of my works.
