How does this letter-form communicate its location?

The EXO’s innovative and striking design by Architect Shay Cleary makes it a new focal point for Dublin’s Dockland. With 15 storeys of elegance, beauty and strength, elevated to facilitate easy circulation, the EXO presents an exciting opportunity like no other for occupiers. The attractiveness and merit of the EXO was clearly demonstrated by the decision of the major state body, An Post, to relocate their headquarters and lease 79,000 sq. ft. of high-quality office space. This typeface is a sans serif that may be a font of UNI sans with the main logo being an X symbol that is placed between Exo and building in the name. The X Symbol is sharp large and has one of the crosses duplicated in parallel with sharp cut ascenders to mimic the steel structure that exists outside the building façade, hence the name THE EXO BUILDING.
