Correct font for subroutines in Latex

Today I learned that Latex supports many different typefaces: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/font_typefaces and http://www.personal.ceu.hu/tex/typeface.htm

I’ve seen papers like this one (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.15704.pdf) uses a different font for subroutines (like function names or APIs). One example is from their reference to the “CrossEntropyLoss” function:

Now, I try by myself different typefaces and see which one it uses:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
{\rm CrossEntropyLoss rm}
 
{\sl CrossEntropyLoss sl}
 
{\sf CrossEntropyLoss sf}
 
{\sf CrossEntropyLoss sf}
 
{\tt CrossEntropyLoss tt} 
 
{\sc CrossEntropyLoss sc}
 
{\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont
CrossEntropyLoss qcr
}
 
{\fontfamily{bch}\selectfont
CrossEntropyLoss bch
}
 
{\fontfamily{lmtt}\selectfont
CrossEntropyLoss lmtt
}

I think the closest font is lmtt
