raised letters

Embossed text characters

Raised letters are characters that project above the surrounding surface, readable by touch.

Braille is the most familiar system of raised letters, enabling blind readers to interpret text with their fingertips.

The term also describes embossed lettering on signs, stationery, or architectural elements: The building number was in raised letters beside the door.
