African literature

The name of the lorry that plies the road to Dukana is wrongly spelt as ‘Progres’ to draw attention to the fact that development in the town is incomplete. What literary device is used in this approach?

It is supposed to be spelled Progress. The literary term might be a Satiric misspelling.
