An article I came across was on a website called (http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/07/graphic-content-hand-lettering/) and is discussing the aspects of typography and the theory of  seen and not heard.  The above piece of wok is done by Steven Heller who is known to be the "God" of graphic design.  Graphic Content/ Hand Lettering is the name of the article. Art Nouveau, Victorian, and or Art Deco Styles are where a lot of hand lettering is seen also.   With the popularity of comics and graphic novels, hand lettering of the comic strip variety has also emerged as vogue.  Hand lettering offers a dynamic way to use type and visually make the graphics and type work as one whole unit even though each entity serves its own purpose.
