How does this letter-form communicate its location?

The contrast of the Leisure Centre sign between Sans Serif and cursive lettering illustrates the location of Kilkeel between the sturdy rigid mountains and the flowing sea. The hard-working side of the town with ever growing business but also the calming side being so close to nature where you can relax either at a beach or a forest park. Also showing the attitude of the town that while it’s a very proud place it also has a quite easy-going atmosphere. Highlighting Leisure as an action done within Kilkeel as well as showing the building name.
