Reforming liberal type, raised to be tactile (7)
I believe the answer is:
braille
'type raised to be tactile' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'reforming liberal' is the wordplay.
'reforming' indicates anagramming the letters.
'liberal' anagrammed gives 'BRAILLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for braille that I've seen before include "System of writing for the visually-impaired" , "Liberal language for blind people" , "Raised type for blind people" , "Uneven writing" , "French educationist" .)
