A sheet of tissue exhibiting puffiness and bulk having a plurality of bosses formed therein comprising:
- a plurality of stitch shaped bosses arrayed to form polygonal cells making up a lattice structure;
- and
- a plurality of bosses forming a first signature emboss pattern being centrally arrayed within a plurality of cells, said first signature bosses being formed on linear continuous embossments at a height exceeding 3 thousandths of an inch and a height less than 120 thousandths of an inch;
