Could you build this?
No The product is a 49-style font superfamily, and its value comes from professional type design: consistent glyph drawing, spacing, kerning, and hinting across many weights and widths. Vibe coding can scaffold font build scripts but cannot supply that design craft.
What it would actually take: You would need a font editor such as Glyphs or FontForge, a designer with type-design expertise to draw the master glyph sets and interpolation masters, and a build pipeline (fontmake or similar) to generate static and variable TTF/OTF files. Quality checks like kerning review, hinting, and OFL packaging also need specialist knowledge. Realistically this takes months of skilled design work.
