Terminus is a square geometric font that comes in a versatile range of different bitmap sizes and weights. This makes for slightly different looking (and thus unique) variations. With the Consoleet OTF versions, you can try all of them, at a size to your liking. And then some!

ax86 variant critique
ax86 (T. Blumenbach) has produced vector versions of Terminus. However, these look absolutely atrocious due to weird orientations of outline segments. (For example, see this outline for the AT sign.)
The Consoleet OTF versions do not have these problems — segments are always on a multiple of 45°.
