Not my item, but they're decals which have been lacquered over.
If you're asking because you want to remove them, you can do this easily with a stanley blade (picking lightly at the side of each letter, then pulling it off). There will be a faint outline left where the decal was, but it's not that bad. It can also be improved by re-lacquering.
Personally, I removed the white decals, ordered some black ones from Dolan (20 pounds, I think), placed them where the white ones were and re-lacquered. lovely job!
You can't however remove the Alpina logo from the forks as it's a done using a different process to the frame.
