Yes, but if you are really picky you will want your background pattern to align nicely with your typeface. Sure, you can carefully try to ensure that each character is a multiple of some fixed unit and set your stripe size based on that. Then make sure that the start padding is correct. But every step of the way any differences in the text renderer and things like accessibility settings overriding font sizes will be working against you. If you want to use this on a website or any other medium that doesn't have a very strict and consistent rendering pipeline I can't think of a better way to do it than a font like this.
Highly stylized letters over a background traditionally utilize .png or .jpg technology. Not that this guy's attempt at writing a wingdings++ compiler isn't amusing.
Yeah this is something you do for a logo. And I believe today you’d probably see this done as SVG. Though whether you would build the font out of lines or use an existing font one letter at a time is probably an open question.
