raised lettering

Characters you feel

Raised lettering is text that projects above the surface it's printed or embossed on, creating a tactile effect you can feel with your fingernips.

Common on business cards, stationery, and formal invitations to convey quality or prestige: Feel the raised lettering on that card.

Braille is a functional form of raised lettering for the blind.
