The answer to the question whose answer I have long searched for: I prefer books over movies because I believe that words can paint pictures better than pictures can.

Words That Look Like Their Meanings in More Ways Than One

fought: both the pronunciation and the lettering look like someone trying to violently hold another off, thrusting their hands outward and using brute force to urge something out of the way. The word looks and sounds like something you'd say after moving a heavy object if its meaning was not different.

thought: the curve and dip of the letters indicate one sitting down and dipping their head down just so, so that the very word looks like it's thinking

scent: you're sen[d/t]ing your sense of smell out to decipher the air; scent appears to me like a snout looking right

snarl: the perfect — yet rough — curve of the letters form a twisted expression of rage, lunging forward to get out a furious, ugly insult. The word sounds like it's going into battle.

different: the turn of the Fs and the D (both visually and verbally) look like someone explaining something on another topic of changed element with slightly shruglike hand gestures.

curve: the casual, gentle, satisfying dip and swoop of the letters look like a skating bowl.

shrug: the letters go up, then down, with the middle letters completing the transition via a fluid, singular movement.
