Typewalk Mono 1915 according to the FontSquirrel font identifier

Looks pretty similar to me, and being a monospaced font makes sense as it's being used by a dev.

That's definitely wrong. The "r" glyph has no top-right curve or serif, whereas Typewalk Mono 1915 has an exaggerated curve. The photos' s glyphs have open apertures, but Typewalk has closed apertures (curled-in stroke ends).
Yes, he surprisingly even mentions it:

Thanks!

We’re talking about the black-background images, right?
