Squishee Squashee
The Orthographic Spelling Rules Typeface
Squishee Squashee is a variable font that combines dynamic animation with clear, accessible visuals to illuminate the rules that govern English spelling. It covers key spelling categories ensuring that learners can navigate English orthography with confidence. Animated letters and letter pairs provide an engaging and intuitive way to internalize these spelling patterns.
Phonetics in Motion
Squishee Squashee is an experimental typeface designed to animate letters within words, making orthographic patterns in the English language visible. This smart font recognizes common spelling patterns and dynamically animates the corresponding letters to highlight these structures in real time. In the word "cake," watch as the letter "a" stretches like it's enjoying a yawn—it's a long 'a'! And keep an eye on the 'e' as it goes from regular to a lighter weight because it's being a bit shy and silent.
