Could you build this?

Partial Tooling to generate or modify a font is vibe-codeable, but designing a polished programmer typeface requires type-design craft that AI assistance does not replace.

What it would actually take: A practical route is to derive from an existing open-source monospace font using FontForge or fontTools scripts, then adjust glyphs and ligatures. Producing an original high-quality typeface needs professional type-design expertise for glyph consistency, hinting, and spacing, plus testing across terminals and editors.
