How does this letter-form communicate its location?

An example of the embracing of a more minimalistic approach to lettering and branding, Note is a restaurant opened in in 2021 that plays on a ‘low meets high’ concept that ensures the space and the objects that occupy it are of a very high standard but still have a tactile, analog or “lo-fi” feel to it. This in effect means they balance anything that could be too shiny (expensive) or off-putting to the regular customer with some tactile, familiar or playful. The logo which is a rough unperfect wordmark illustrates this nicely against the backdrop of what will be a new interior with new ‘shiny’ elements. This approach illustrates the embracing of a global vernacular in typography which looks to create a set of visual cues that can be read by those with access no matter what city you are in.
