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.
