How does this letter-form communicate its location?

This font is very pretty and is different to many signs I have seen in my neighbourhood. The lettering looks slightly Indian, which brought me to the idea that this shop may be owned by another nationality. This shows how international this area is once again. I thought the sign was clean and eye catching, with a backdrop of graffiti and dirty walls. The use of an off yellow and maroon work well in standing out amongst this neighbourhood's urban exterior. Even the newest and most lively signage has to cover the hand written scrawls of angry people around my block.
