How does this letter-form communicate its location?

There are a lot of remembrance stones of famous people that lived in Yerevan. These stones are placed near the locations these honorable people have lived in. Their function is to pay respect to them, honor their memory and to simply learn about where they had once lived and created. The fact of engraving something in stone already signifies timelessness and importance. Since our local material is stone, it is natural for us to use it for different applications. I appreciate the beautiful typefaces of these engravings. These expressive fonts are clearly crafted by real lettering Masters.
