How does this letter-form communicate its location?

MU - Wooden sign stating : MURTON WAY. The wooden textures on this sign really add to the ageing of the lettering. A number of other signs are written in this same form and on wood, suggesting this is one of the main characteristics through the village. The signs all seem to be for more "individual" places which are very historical such as the vilage of Murton, or pinfold based at the south of an old Moated manor. For me, this sign shows the beauty in weathering over time rather than suggesting historical changes.
