cheap :-)

For making something "really new," I suggest you check out a website
Erik has made that has a database of ideas that it assembles into fun
little type design briefs:
www.typecooker.com
:-)
Well perhaps a comic sans RandomFont, then. ;-)
But, yes, rather than reverse-engineering a classic, is there something
new but well-defined that would make a good project?

Hi, Jeremy,
Others on this list may provide you with other answers. So please accept my
suggestion as just one of several possibilities:
As people begin uploading fonts, we discover some Latin fonts that contain
not much more than basic Latin A-Z. To make these fonts really usable, it
would be
