Courier is a monospaced slab serif typeface designed to resemble the output from a strike-on typewriter. The typeface was designed by Howard “Bud” Kettler in 1955. The design of the original Courier typeface
w a s commissioned in the 1950s by IBM for use in typewriters, but they did not secure legal exclusivity to the typeface and it soon became a stan-dard font used throughout the typewriter industry. As a monospaced font, it has r e c e n t l y found renewed use in the electronic world in situations where columns
of characters must be consistently aligned. It has also become an industry standard for all screenplays to be written in 12 point Courier or a close variant.
The font was later redrawn by Adrian Frutiger for the IBM Selectric Composer series of electric typewriters.
1 2 point Courier New was also the U.S. State Department’s standard t y p e f a c e until January 2004, when it was replaced with 14 point Times New Ro-man. Reasons for the change included the desire for a more “modern” and “leg-ible” font.K e t t l e r was once quoted about how the name was chosen. The font was nearly r e - leased with the name “Messenger.” After giving it some thought,
Kettler said, “A letter can be just an ordinary messenger, or it can be the courier, which radiates dignity, prestige, and stability.
