I did a thing
Here is the font.
-
Modern Mono
I tried Scientifica as a joke, and have ended up using it both in the terminal and editor: https://github.com/nerdypepper/scientifica
The blockiness just works for me. Reminds me of old DOS fonts. Coworkers hate looking at my screen though.

I have no idea how to get URxvt to use a bitmap font
URxvt refuses to use a bitmap font. I want to use scientifica, and I've installed it previously and did `fc-cache -fv`. It works in other applications. In URxvt, I can successfully change the default font to something like JetBrains by putting urxvt*font: xft:JetBrains Mono:size=11 and that works just fine. Replacing `JetBrains Mono` with scientifica or any variation of it does not work. Thanks for any help.

fonts: scientifica, siji and lemon as fallback for non latin characters. I also use terminus (guess what blindless command sets).

B612 Font Family
Huge endorsement for Atkinson Hyperlegible from me. As someone with horrible and declining eyesight in multiple ways, it has improved my computing experience a lot.
There’s been a couple of attempts at making a monospace version, I currently use the one by Edward Shin in my editors and terminal https://github.com/Hylian/atkinson-monolegible

Modern Mono
For my mono font, I converted the Atkinson Hyperlegible[0] font into mono, and have been using it as my terminal and editor font for over a year now. It's pretty janky, but it's surprisingly lasted longer than many of the other fonts I've tried over the years.
