How does this letter-form communicate its location?

Tvärskog train station. This sign is signifying the Tvärskog that was and that still is very present in both the cultural and social context of Tvärskog. The people and places from the historical parts are still being referred to as if they were here. These historical figures and places are very much alive in that way of communication. Houses and places are not referred to by street names, but from historical aspects. The train station marked an important shift for Tvärskog as it literally connected the community with the rest of the municipality. The letterforms are set in capital and the R has the characteristic of Jugend/Art Nouveau lettering, and the rest of the letterforms correlate with that style.
