I'm a sucker for hand-lettering and calligraphy, especially if it's accompanied by illustration. It adds a personal touch to any piece and just has an appeal that no other does. I'm a huge fan of calligraphers below and can really appreciate and respect the amount of work that they put into their craft. If I had the time I would push myself to learn calligraphy because I think it's one of the few crafts that can still be appreciated and uncomparable.
List of favorite Calligraphers:
Crystal Kluge
Betsy Dunlap
Jenna Heine
Nancy Howell
Tracy Joe
If you have the opportunity to infuse hand-lettering and illustration into your designs, I strongly suggest it!
