Every type font has a personality. And every font, on some level, is conveying a message.
Some fonts are all about being bold, or weird, or sexy, or seductive. Others seem to be trying to convince you that they live in some far-off science fiction future.
But Courier font, that simple monospaced slab-serif typeface, is none of that. It’s not trying to impress you — in fact, quite the opposite.
Courier font is telling you that this text is just trying to get things done. Nothing flashy, maybe just some copy whipped up right before press time by a newspaper reporter from the nineteen fifties on his trusty Underwood Champion manual typewriter.
And that, to me, is a wonderful message.
