Font design in the modern age consists largely of adding eccentricities and making tweaks, not always pleasing, intended to render long existing fonts more quirky and appealing to modern folk. Some of this "design" consists of outright theft and renaming. The best font designs were created centuries ago and retain the qualities that have caused them to persist for so long. Technology does sometimes require certain changes and refinements, but this might more accurately be called "font editing."
