Braille is a tactile medium, which is above all used by blind and visually impaired people.
The term tactile refers to the fact that the sense of touch is used in reading.
Using Braille it is possible to reproduce letters, numbers, punctuation marks, mathematical characters, words and syllables, symbols and notes to be read using the fingertips.
DanSign leads the European market in Braille signs, and we work closely with US companies that have been developing the technique for use on signage for decades.
