On the Integrity of the Typeface is an excellent article by Matt Ward (@echoenduring) on respecting correct typography.
In any well designed typeface, every character (or glyph) is meticulously and carefully crafted to work within a very specific typographic system. Sometimes, that system can be tight and rigid, and other times it can be much looser.
Any professional design should know this stuff but it's good to read over it.
