Judging by the amount of freestyle lettering fonts which appear on a daily basis: it seems like no.
But a really good font for larger amounts of type, such a workhorse which sets a new trend, looking appealing, with a good number of variations, serving its purposes well – that's another story. That's a matter of drawing, shaping, spacing, trying, testing, tweaking, over and over again, keeping it strong, useful, and elegant in all kinds of circumstances and sizes, on screen and in print.
That doesn't just happen in a day's work !
