Spanish
Carlos V : “Charles V” (Holy Roman Emperor, 16th c.).
Asador Carlos V : “Grillhouse Carlos V” → a restaurant name invoking history.
Latin (symbolic/historical)
Around the medallion: IMP·CAES·CAROLVS V·AVG
Short for Imperator Caesar Carolus Quintus Augustus (Emperor Caesar Charles V Augustus).
Classical Latin used for prestige, evoking imperial power and tradition. The bronze relief portrait of Charles V reinforces the link between heritage and commercial branding. The mix of materials (bronze, stone-like textures) communicates permanence and prestige.
Hybrid function: This sign blends heritage (Latin, historical figure) with commerce (Spanish restaurant name), making history consumable for visitors. It illustrates how the linguistic landscape can commodify history, transforming cultural memory into a marketing tool.
