creative spelling
Invented letter arrangements
Creative spelling is the intentional misspelling of words for effect—whether playful, phonetic, or attention-getting.
Brand names like Krispy Kreme and Froot Loops use it for distinctiveness.
Children's early attempts at writing based on how words sound are also called creative spelling: She wrote "luv" for love.
