What is the BSD tty font called?

C

Hi everyone!

The first time I installed BSD (It was OpenBSD), I was amazed by the font in the tty. It is so much more rounded and elegant than the one I see in Linux. I was wondering; does it have a name?
I would be interested in using it in some documents. You are free to call me a psychopath, but I just want to know if it has a name.

Thanks!
 
I think, though I'm not entirely sure, it's a variant of the "Terminus" font. Great font, perfect for fixed width terminal stuff (or writing code). Clear difference between 'l' (lower-case L) and '1' (number one) for example, or '8' (number eight) and 'B' (capital B), or '0' (zero) and 'O' (capital O).

If you want to use it in X, install x11-fonts/terminus-font.
