Could you build this?

Partial Generating the font build pipeline (for example with FontForge or UFO tooling) is codeable. Designing a legible monospaced typeface with good glyph shapes is a specialized craft that vibe coding does not supply.

What it would actually take: A real release needs a type designer to draw the glyph set and spacing, validated for coding legibility and Unicode coverage. Engineering then compiles it into OTF or WOFF through a font toolchain, with hinting and testing across editors. Typography expertise is the bottleneck, not the code.
