William Moon, contracted smallpox as a young child and by age 22 had lost his sight completely. Frustrated by the quality of embossed reading systems he had tried, he developed his own system based on roman lettering, with portions of the letters omitted in order to make the characters more discernible to the touch. Moon's system was easy to master, particularly for those who had learned to read before losing their sight, and it became very successful. However, nowadays examples are rarely encountered.
