Written Private Wills The three types of written private wills are:

Holographic wills. These are handwritten by the testator. A holographic will is valid in relation to form if it is entirely handwritten and signed by the testator.

Allographic wills. These are written by a person other than the testator. An allographic will (generally a typewritten will) must be signed by the testator in the contemporaneous presence of two witnesses or, if signed previously, the testator must declare the signature to be his or her own before two witnesses in their contemporaneous presence. The witnesses must sign the will indicating their capacity as such.

Private wills deposited with a notary. For a private will deposited with a notary public to be valid, the testator himself or herself must sign the will, then deposit it personally with a notary public, specifically marked as a will.

A written will can be made only in a language that the testator can understand and in which he or she can write (in case of a holographic will) or read (in the case of an allographic will). Wills drafted in shorthand or another symbol or code writing other than normal writing are invalid.

Proceeding to set aside order allowing registration of nuncupative will by public act and codicil thereto. The Civil District Court for the Parish of Jefferson, No. 53-713, Frederick J.R. Heebe, J., recalled order, and an appeal was taken. The Court of Appeal, Joe R. Vidrine, J., held that nuncupative will by public act and codicil thereto, which recited that they were dictated by testator and were written by notary as directed, but which did not indicate that they were read to testator in presence of witnesses, were invalid.

Non-Holographic Last Will and Testament

I can't recall any reference in the UK Wills Act 1837 to an 'allographic Will'. Nor is that term contained in any Anglo-Americna Law Dictionary I have to hand: L.B. Curzon English Law or Barron's US American Law.

I think it would be categorised as a non-holographic and self-acknowledged Will, so one 'acknowledged by the testator or testatrix as his or her own to witnesses NB is the legalistic definition of 'publication' of a Will and does not square with the publicising or registration of such (even the UK Government probate website misues the term of 'publishing' a Will).
Example sentence:

There are two types of wills: (1) holographic and (2) non-holographic. Non-holographic – or typed, witnessed and attested wills – are the most common and the type that people are most familiar with.

USA: Generally, there is no “publication” requirement (i.e., there is no requirement that the witnesses know they are attesting witnesses to a will) in most states.
