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.

Modern Mono
Came here to say this. I didn't like any available variable width font for coding though so I created my own based on helvetica.
