carved letters
Stone-cut writing marks
Carved letters are characters cut into a hard surface like stone, wood, or metal.
The phrase emphasizes the permanence and deliberate craftsmanship of inscription, often on monuments, gravestones, or architectural elements: The carved letters on the memorial had weathered but remained legible.
Carved letters suggest something meant to endure.
