[accessibleimage] The Elia Alphabet

Hi, 

Came across this and thought it interesting might be
of interest to others. Elia is  "a new tactile alphabet 
specifically designed for visually impaired 
persons who were previously sighted."

Is there anyone with experience with this? Seems
like a variation of Moon.

From the site 
"Description of the ELIA Alphabet
Each letter of the ELIA Tactile Font utilizes the major
characteristic of the corresponding Roman alphabet letter.
Each letter also has a frame, which is either a circle or a
square. The frame enables the reader to use deductive
reasoning to identify the letter it helps orient the reader
so that he or she knows where letters begin and end. As a
result of these two benefits, the reader can read the ELIA
Font quickly and accurately. The frame also enables readers
to size the alphabet to their individual tactile needs."

Regards,
Lisa
