I’m glad you asked. I wanted the date and time formats to match because they’re effectively the same thing — just that dates span a greater amount of time. I decided on the colons because it makes sense to me; In sentences, colons introduce things that elaborate on the original idea — that’s what seconds do to minutes and what days do to months and months to years.
For my purposes, I don’t require ranges, so that’s out of the picture.
And in the end, it’s my web site, and so why not do exactly what I want to do with it?! ;)
Thank you, @BWM the beta tester. I was lazy and didn’t add any C.S.S. for that page because I thought that it would default to the font of the website.
Actually, it’s a newer version. You can see that I’ve altered the letters: “A”, “H”, “M”, “N”, “R”, “V”, and “W”. I took out a lot of the letters for that website version because they weren’t needed.
All it has are: Capital letters, numbers, speech marks, parentheses, square brackets, a hyphen, an em dash, a bullet point, an exclamation mark, a question mark, an ellipsis, a full stop, a comma, a colon, and most importantly: A semicolon.

That's a hell lot of letters
@JingYo
Yeah, it was a nightmare to kern (It took me about six months and I still didn’t completely finish it).
@zephram
Thanks. You can see this font in action on my website:

My previous font didn’t have an @, and people were complaining because they were trying to enter their email addresses.

And I’m honoured that you’re looking through my site.
This Latin A is an Inverted V, Should to need to is same as Cyrillic & Greek, and~
change letter M and N to like in the font Blazma.
Needed Superscript and Subscript, And a lot missing latin letters in latin extended A,
and Some of B. Like the same glyphs as Zero Cool.
