Crispness was one of my primary motivations for learning to make my own programming font, Luculent [1][2]. Consolas is wider so the proportions aren't quite the same. But mine is superhinted to look good with no or limited antialiasing at 15 ppem, among other sizes.

It looks good on many sizes with anti-alias turned off. But with anti-alias it's very thin and the contrast is bad.
Good work, thank you!

To my taste, it's a bit too dense for regular coding. Very nice for diffing/merging and for console.

This is a very nice typeface indeed! And uniquely beautiful.
