Could you build this?

No Designing and engineering a Traditional Chinese font covering tens of thousands of complex glyphs requires specialized typography expertise, font mastering, and CJK design skills.

What it would actually take: Producing a viable CJK font requires specialized font-editing software (Glyphs, FontForge, AFDKO) and deep font engineering expertise. The hard part is programmatically and aesthetically altering glyph metrics, serifs, and stroke contrasts across thousands of complex Chinese, Taiwanese Hokkien, and Hakka characters while preserving character balance, OpenType hinting, and unicode-range subsetting.
