I'm coding on a 1080p screen and I still very much prefer pixel-perfect fonts - Terminus (https://files.ax86.net/terminus-ttf/) has been my font of choice, with proggy clean being a close second (use it for terminal panels and such). I see the site has a filter toggle to show those but with modern browser forcing anti-aliasing on all text, that's pretty uselesas.

On a related note, I noticed that there are a few fonts which seems to ignore system-wide or browser-wide antialiasing settings - one example would be the "MS Gothic" font, visible on this site: https://fountainofdreams.net/ where all text is crisp as hell. Why is this?
