Departure Mono is a monospaced pixel font with a lo-fi technical vibe. The font was inspired by the constraints of the early command-line and graphical user interfaces, the tiny pixel fonts that appeared around the year 2000s, and sci-fi concepts from films and television. The font can be displayed crisply even at a very small font size, however according to the font designer, Helena Zhang, in order to achieve the pixel-perfect display, you should set the font size to the increments of 11px, eg. 11px, 22px, 33px and so on. Adjusting the letter spacings too for optimal display if needed.
Besides that, the website of Departure Mono is super cool and it has space invader game at the footer of the website. Be sure to visit the website to learn more and download the font. Also the font is licensed under SIL Open Font License, hence you can use it for personal and commercial projects!
