“Departure Mono is a monospaced pixel font inspired by the constraints of early command-line and graphical user interfaces, the tiny pixel fonts of the late 90s/early 00s, and sci-fi concepts from film and television.”
Both the font (by Helena Zhang) and website (by Tobias Fried) are fantastic. Freely available, too.
