How does this letter-form communicate its location?

Latitude: 53.22758, Longitude: -0.556988 The newest font types out of these examples shown, in terms of when it was constructed, this typeface helps to identify the passion and drive for technology and engineering the city has. Like the ‘University of Lincoln’ type, its metal material is pushed out from the wall to give the 3D effect. The difference is that this font type looks much more futuristic, which I believe pays tribute to George Boole. Whose ‘Boolean Algebra’ was fundamental to the development of the first computer circuit. The colour yellow is interesting as it is known to foster learning and practicality.
