How does this letter-form communicate its location?

Whilst there are some affluent Jordanians, the majority live off very little. the average salary is around $500 a month and costs of living are huge thanks to limited natural resources. However, I think this sign sums up Jordanian spirit and resourcefulness as a vast number of signs are handmade like this example. I love the script and the use of using calligraphic I'jamm (the dots that distinguish the letters). This is also my only example that combines Latin script too and I love the handcrafted nature of the sign making them feel connected but not at all at the same time.
