Is this still letter "z"?

hi everybody,
this is my custom lettering and the question is - is this still letter "z"? Any suggestions? Any suggesting at all?

Thank you very much!

Except for the fact that "linz" isn’t a common word (as would be suggested by the all lowercase) and maybe one is expecting something like "love line", I think it reads as "z". But the angle is strange compared to the baseline and also the letters are connected in "love" and disconnected in "linz".

It looks a bit like a 3 as well.

An Austrian would read it as z.
