Introducing "Cherokee Bickerdike 01". This font is an innovative and revolutionary font design which has been used to empower learners and speakers of the Cherokee language, originally used along with other fonts created in 2023 by Don Bickerdike and also as a print form as applied to the Bickerdike Extended Transliteration (B.E.T.) method. Each character has previously been used around the perimeter of the Clockface template and the Shorthand Clockface Template (as a phonetic guide surrounding the outer rim of each Clockface) to help the reader identify the correct phonetic sounds associated with each syllabary character by showing the basic phonetic sounds. This font can be used in conjunction with the Bickerdike Extended Transliteration (B.E.T.) method (a custom phonetic system engineered for precision and consistency) when typing in either a transliterated form or a phonetic form. Unique Features for Enhanced Learning To accommodate the Tone/Duration part of the B.E.T. method, this font also includes uniquely designed numerals and hyphen, crafted to visually represent the phonetic tones and syllable durations of the Cherokee language, much like notes on a music score. (In this font, the hyphen key remains as the hyphen key, and therefore there is no need to modify the double-quotation mark within this font.) Numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 are each uniquely styled to represent their respective tone levels. (Numbers 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0 have a similar design without the additional dot showing any tone level.) The number "4" is represented by a grave accent character (  ̀ ), providing a comprehensive and intuitive system for understanding and reproducing the phonetic tones of the language. For added clarity when using the B.E.T. method, the hyphen (-) is used to show vowel duration. This unique feature helps users visually distinguish between single-keystroke syllables (-) in representing the shorter duration of a vowel and double-keystroke syllables (--) in representing the longer duration of a vowel. All elements included in this font (the phonetic system, the unique number designs, and the custom punctuation usage) were created and copyrighted in 2023. These designs are featured in the original published eBook on the Cherokee language, Revolutionary Cherokee: What You See Is What You Say by font creator Don Bickerdike (Copyright 2023 Don Bickerdike.)

Über Deep Perspective Books

Osiyo! (The order page will show any current discounts applied automatically to support accessibility for learners.) Deep Perspective Books is an independent Cherokee-owned foundry dedicated to language revitalization and educational clarity. Our work includes the 3‑in‑1 Cherokee fonts Cherokee Bickerdike 05, Cherokee Bickerdike 01, and Cherokee East Bick 05—tools designed to support learners both inside and outside the Cherokee Nation’s primary service area. The flagship font, Cherokee Bickerdike 05, has been vetted and approved for accuracy by the Cherokee Nation. The Cherokee East Bick 05 extends this system to reflect the nuances of the Eastern dialect. These fonts exist to meet real, practical needs for At‑Large learners who often lack access to fluent speakers and consistent pronunciation guidance. The modest licensing fee ensures the sustainability and continued development of this revitalization work. Deep Perspective Books was founded by a Cherokee Nation citizen, author, and publisher committed to preserving Indigenous languages through intuitive, learner‑centered design. Our mission is simple: make complex writing systems easier to learn by embedding clarity directly into the tools themselves. The 3‑in‑1 system grew from a key insight: learners need more than characters—they need transparent pronunciation. Each glyph integrates three layers of information: the full Cherokee syllabary character the Bickerdike Extended Transliteration (B.E.T.) phonetic guide, part of the broader Standard Bickerdike Phonetics (SBP) system designed for intuitive, consistent pronunciation the Standard Transliteration for familiar reference To support accurate pronunciation, the fonts also include a unique tone‑marking system using the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the a grave accent key (the ASCII tilde key), functioning visually like musical notation. These innovations were created and copyrighted in 2023, as documented in the eBook Revolutionary Cherokee: What You See Is What You Say. At Deep Perspective Books, we are not simply creating fonts—we are building bridges to cultural and linguistic heritage. While our work begins with Cherokee, our long‑term vision includes developing similar phonetic systems for other Native American languages, contributing to the broader movement of Indigenous language revitalization.
