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.

- what terminal emulator do you use and why?

I just like writing old code

Cathode-Retro: A collection of shaders to emulate the display of an NTSC signal
Seems like a good spot to mention https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term
Cool Retro Terminal is a nice accessory for when doing recording or screenshots - cause it looks cool. Can't use it as my daily driver tho.
And enough settings in there you can make it look like your favourite old one.

Does anyone know of a similar Windows equivalent to the now defunct Mac/iOS app "Cathode" ?
I'd guess most things you can get now are just regular command prompt style windows with a "retro" look (colour scheme). Oooh, you can change the text to green and maybe add a scan line effect. I am looking for a full experience like the Secret Geometry programs! The only similar-ish one I have found is Cool Retro Term, but that is for Linux and Mac only it seems :/

Cool Retro Terminal
I've enjoyed using this. I don't run it for long but I do run it sometimes for the sake of nostalgia. When I do run it, I run it in full screen for the complete experience. However, to balance practicality with nostalgia, I run a tmux session with the cool-retro-term, so that once I get tired of it, I can quickly switch back to my regular terminal without losing my terminal session.
The effects are configurable. I disable the settings named Burin, Glow Line, and RGB Shift to get crisper and less distracting experience. The RGB Shift setting is disabled for most built-in profiles anyway but enabled for some profiles like Vintage and IBM Dos. The Vintage profile is quite amusing. Everything is cranked way up. The blurry text and the incessant flickering of the screen create an unsettling impression that the monitor might break down any moment.
By the way, if you didn't notice it the app is named cool-retro-term and it abbreviates to CRT. The app icon[1] is also a CRT followed by the cursor. Guess what else abbreviates to CRT? Yes, "cathode-ray tube" of the cathode-ray tube (CRT) computer monitors
