While perhaps not visible to everyone, in type design there are an infinite number of ways to make variation, innovation and improvement. In every step of the process of making a typeface there are opportunities to express personal preference.

To a lay person the differences between typefaces might be difficult to spot, that does not mean that these differences do not exist. It does not mean that the differences are meaningless, nor does that take away the type designers’ right to claim a design to be his (or hers).
