That’s really more of an encoding than a typeface. Like ASCII and Unicode.

But I guess if you can build fonts that generate barcodes, and fonts that have LLMs built in, then you could design a 1 pixel high font that uses Morse code to represent most ASCII characters.

What is a typeface if not a specification for pixel encoding of text? You put text into the typeface, and you get pixel data out of it.

Ah the internet where you can make a lighthearted joke and immediately get um-actually'd by multiple people.

I really thought the :) at the end would be enough.

You do realize that you can't represent a glyph with only 2 pixels ?

Bad kerning on that font would be incredibly problematic though.

That's not a font though. It's...well, a code.

Well explain this then! https://www.dafont.com/morse.font

Your win, clearly ;)

This is like claiming that Esperanto is a font

Somehow, this feels like a good description for how William Shatner speaks Esperanto.
