How do I create this retro font in Unity?

I want to create a retro font that you used to see all the time on old Windows 98/Windows XP computers, it was the “Verdana Bold” font.

The issue I have is, modern day computers always give fonts a “smoothness” and it doesn’t quite look the same.

How do I recreate something like the photo below?

I think you can just use the font in Unity with TMPro. Maybe you can use a Pixel perfect camera? (Although I would assume the font itself is enough)

if nothing else works,
maybe could generate bitmap font atlas (outside unity) and use that.
(or doesn’t TMPro already have that option?)

also should disable all Antialias + other related effects and have game view at scale 1.
