How does this letter-form communicate its location?

The estate itself has been known for being the poorest localities in Europe and with high crime rates, however, in 1995 there have been regeneration developments taking place and the town is now know as one of the safest in the UK. The 300 year old pub and restaurant 'Boathouse' is hidden from the tourists and supports local businesses, which shows there is a strong community supports each other even through financial hardship. The ink lettering is very economic and humanist.
