Courier Prime
Google Fonts · Alan Dague-Greene · 2013
A carefully modernised take on Courier that finally makes the typewriter classic comfortable for screen use and screenwriting.
About
Courier Prime was developed specifically for screenplay formatting software, addressing the shortcomings of ageing Courier implementations with improved metrics and hinting. It works equally well as a coding font, terminal typeface, or editorial accent for anyone seeking that deliberate typewriter aesthetic. The Regular and Bold weights, along with italic variants, make it more versatile than most Courier derivatives.
Classification
Courier Prime is a refined revival of the classic Courier typewriter face, with improved spacing, hinting, and screen rendering over the original. It retains the familiar slab-serif monospaced feel while being genuinely pleasant to read on screen.
