Retype/copy is still copying. It has to be done in an original way, and design can be copyrighted too.
Unless you can get permission from the theme creator (probably quite easy) you can't use the design.
Ok. I got the license for you, from his download page. IANAL, but I think you can use it, just make sure to put a license notice in the licenses folder, because it's different from the rest of the code.
