    Early computers were mainly used for programming — well, you couldn’t really switch fonts in the terminal on the fly, could you? Maybe you could, and it’s certainly baked in these days, but it was more expedient to just incorporate European characters (a few hundred glyphs at most) onto an existing CJK font (several thousand glyphs). This was already in the days of cold type, so manipulation (stretching, compressing, tilting) was within easy reach, which resulted in the fonts looking like the way they do. Yes, those fonts trace their lineage back to the 1970s and early 1980s. The Latin characters are monospaced essentially due to technical limitations, at roughly 2:1 (half the width of a CJK character). Japan also made half-width kana simply to accommodate this, and this is also where fullwidth forms, now an essential part of the vaporwave aesthetic, came from. More recently, Adobe made a variant of Source Han Mono JP just to have non-CJK characters be in a 3:2 ratio.
