The sign comprised of a planar sign plate or base routed therethrough forming one or more sockets to receive one or more tactile text plugs and one or more Braille plugs. These plugs when inserted, pressed and friction fit through the back of the base until flush therewith, protrude at least 1/32nd inch above the front surface of said sign base. The plugs being fabricated from solid color materials that contrast with the base by at least 70% without painting. The Braille plug provides all the Braille pins for the sign on an integrated base.
