I want to make 2D games as a hobby. But I've noticed that easy engines like Gamemaker have their own meme little languages. Is there a popular and simple 2D language that uses an actual programming language like Python or something?
Something a little different, you could try https://adamslair.github.io/duality/ a game engine built using c#. Has a visual editor too.

How can I get a 1:1 sized font?
Since you're already working in C#, there's a library called SadConsole that does this. It relies on either MonoGame or SFML to actually render to the screen, though. If you're not using either of those, the source may give you some ideas on how to implement such a grid of tiles yourself. There are of course other libraries that do this, but SadConsole is the first that I could remember in C#.

Basic guidelines
Just throwing this out there because I too am going to school for .NET/C#, something I found that really helped me get started was SadConsole: https://github.com/Thraka/SadConsole

Is there a way to learn how to use SadConsole?
The process I am using for learning version 9 is to download, run and modify the sample projects. It's a brute force approach, but I am already pretty comfortable with C# and Visual Studio.

Some high-level noob questions
Familiar with C#? My friend, may I point you towards a rendering library called SadConsole and a framework specifically for creating RogueLikes called GoRogue. They are lacking in tutorials (SadConsole recently had a major version change, and GoRogue is soon to follow suit), but they've got a discord community where people are really helpful.

User interface in MonoGame that supports message log
I'm personally using SadConsole, not sure if it would fit your needs exactly, but it's open source.
