Funny thing is that recreations are not necessarily covered by copyright law. The clearest example of this is fonts, where (using imprecise terminology but I think it’ll be clear enough) the US only grants copyright protection to font files, but not the shapes—so tracing a commercial font is perfectly legal, even if you happened to end up with an identical result (though good luck proving to a court that that’s what you did).

I mean, today it's pretty easy to prove that if you're setting out to copy one of these fonts. Just film the whole process and upload it to YouTube.
