Multiple other people have made fonts where vowels and consonants are distinguished with different colors, but many of them have mistakes in some letters (for example, Ý is a vowel but Ƴ is a consonant, despite both being based on the same letter). Further, some letters (such as Cyrillic hard and soft sign or Zhuang tone letters) are neither vowels nor consonants, but carry other information such as tone, length, or secondary articulation; I have given these a seperate color.
Red: Vowels
Blue: Consonants
Magenta: Syllables
Green: Prosody
Black: Non-letter
Some alternate colors for lettes (eg. vocalic Y) can be found in the PUA.Glyphs are taken from Monospac, with some alterations.

Isn't ɤ the close-mid back unrounded vowel in the International Phonetic Alphabet?
Also, @erictom333, did you credit me for the Montessori Font? or you had your own idea and it was a coincidence?
"Ý is a vowel but Ƴ is a consonant". I guess maybe in English, but I am sure there are many languages where Y, be it short or long (Ý), is definitely a vowel too.

@BWM My mistake, will fix.
@Kyyle My font was inspired by multiple earlier fonts, not necessarily yours.
@Peter (Petruuccio) As I said in the description, there are alternate colored versions of some letters in the PUA.
@erictom333, sometimes coincidences sometimes happen at some moment
Whenever I save this font, it says there is an error trying to save. However, if I reload or open the font in another tab, it is saved. Why does this happen?
what about arabic letter u (ۇ)
Don't you mean "close-mid back rounded vowel" because "close-mid back unrounded vowel" is transcribed as [e]?
@EnricoBae-Gom I meant "close-mid back unrounded vowel" as /e/ is the close-mid front unrounded vowel. Also, the close-mid back rounded vowel is transcribed as /o/.
@BWM you use brackets for phonetic notation instead of slashes
