The word "slyly" looks very aesthetically pleasing. What are other handsome words (any language)?

Boob just because it shows how boobs look from the three main perspectives: top, straight on, and profile.

Always dug the word "queue" you only pronounce the first letter and the rest of them are just waiting in line all tidy.

The word bed looks like a bed.

I think bookkeeping is a nice, woody word, both visually and spoken

Pretty much any Arabic calligraphy.

I went to a museum in Morocco that was specifically showing Arabic calligraphy in the shape of trees or people or other common objects and was absolutely blown away.

Indelibly printed on my mind.

I saw saw Arabic calligraphy and I was like oh s*** they got the written word correct.

One of my kids is named Ivy and she was the first to learn how to write it because it's one stick, two sticks, three sticks. Her under 2 year old sister was at the library once and pointed to a book and said "Ivy" and yep, that was on the spine of the book. So I love that word because it made two of my kids understand written language.

dub

It looks like headphones. Nicely symmetrical.

hijinks

Three tittles in a row.

"Minimum" is quite nice, particularly in calligraphy where it's just a bunch of vertical lines

I don't think there's any words that "look handsome" though what I was a kid, the first time I read the word "gobbledygook" I could not stop laughing for at least 5 minutes. Then I had to go look it up in a dictionary (because that was the style at the time).

I love the word acquiesce. It just looks classy and elegant (even though the word doesn't mean anything like it)

응

It means yes in Korean and it looks like ÷ or %

In Romanian, the word "lalelele" is perfectly correct.

Ever since I saw it written down I've been trying to decide if I love it or hate it.

"Slyly" actually kind of bothers me a little due to how it looks.

English:

• Obelisk
• Aptitude
• Hamfisted
• Obstreperous
• Peace

Spanish:

• Zapata
• Dos veces

French:

• Pamplemousse

Bonus points for no aeiou.

Preposterous. Sounds hilarious, and looks/sounds very sophisticated in a good way.

Chinese and Japanese would have so many. My favorite is probably 緑 which means green. I also like the simplified Chinese horse: 马. Special shoutout to 凸 meaning convex, 凹 meaning concave, and 凸凹 meaning bumpy (not sure if this is true in Chinese). There's thousands to choose from so of course there are a lot of other handsome one-character words, but those are the first few I thought of.

A place in California called Zzyzx.

Grawlix - the use of punctuation to convey swearing in comics or cartoons. @#!&

Malapropism - incorrectly using a word that sounds similar to the intended word. Like Mike Tyson famously saying that he'd "fade into Bolivian"

Malaphor - combining one or more metaphors incorrectly like "we'll burn that bridge then we come to it"

The word

dumb

is almost perfectly symmetrical, at least d and b are, and i really like it. Depends on the typeface of course.

You can have a perfectly symmetrical set of letters by writing "dunb" but that's not a word

Ill

lloviznar - to drizzle in Spanish. Also feels nice to say.

Millennium

WiFi

Dogma

Box/Fox

Strix is cool. I like saying it.

Any palindrome.

Titties the double tt looks good on cursive.

Cellar door

Sex

Crescendo

I've been told my username looks pleasing.

cipőfűző

The French really like it for some reason. It means shoelaces in Hungarian.

Vituperative.

Pimiento.

gabapentin

Gastrocnemius sounds cool

I don’t know about handsome, but I heard somewhere that “barn Cellar door” is the most pleasant sounds two words in the English language.

Kinda sounds like a foreign language, perhaps that’s why it sounds pleasing.

hallelujah is a cool looking word. A lame word, but a cool looking one.

toot

Moist

When in all lowercase letters the word

bed

Looks like a bed.

syzygy

German always looks great.

My favourite?
