Spiked script
As a sting Scripture refers to the 1807 of Johann Wilhelm Klein invented Braille . This script consisted of dotted, large Latin letters that were pressed into the paper with the help of his "spike-type device". The letters could thus be read by the sighted and felt by the blind through the protrusions of the piercings of the needles (spikes). However, every letter had to be completely traced with the fingers, fast reading was not possible with the spiked font.
Due to the imitation of the capital letters with all arcs, curves and oblique lines, the letters could not be written by hand even by the blind. Nevertheless, numerous works for the education of the blind were printed, including in the Berlin Prussian-Royal Institute for the Blind by Johann August Zeune (today Johann-August-Zeune School for the Blind , see Rothenburgstrasse (Berlin) ).
