How does this letter-form communicate its location?

The SAINT LUCIA sign was unveiled in 2020 and is important for several reasons. First, it helps to improve the visibility and accessibility of the port for visitors arriving by sea. The new signage also plays an important role in promoting tourism and highlighting some iconic symbols and unique features of our beautiful island. From my perspective, a broader/bolder font could have been chosen in order to highlight some of the features and symbols of the Island. The letter S and L stand at about five and a half feet. So due to the relative size of the text next to an average person, it still does a remarkable job of attracting the eyes.
