Here is VT220 emulation font of similar style (complete with scanlines): http://sensi.org/~svo/glasstty/

edit: webfont sample here: http://johanneshoff.com/vt220/

This font even takes into account the imprecision of analog scanlines — the lines that make up the characters are subtly rounded. It’s a very enjoyable font, though a bit impractical :-)

On Hi-DPI displays, it's actually pretty usable. On my retina Macbook at 14 points it looks pretty much how I remember my old vt-220 looking. IE, very readable.

I ran this as my main terminal font for quite a while. As long as you set it to the exact size it's designed for, it's actually very readable.
