An Academic Look at STYL

STYL is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Ess Tee Wye Ell), but as this is harder to say than "Speak to you later," it is not often uttered using its letters. In other words, the abbreviation STYL is for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech.
