Courier, Dispatched - How the U.S. State Department put the kibosh on the typewriter font. By Tom Vanderbilt Courier New 12, created in 1955 by IBM, is perhaps the most recognizable typeface of the 20th century—a visual symbol of typewritten bureaucratic anonymity, the widespread dissemination of information (and a classification of documents), stark factuality, and streamlined efficiency. In technical terms, Courier New, like all typewriter fonts, is a "monospaced" typeface: Each letter takes up the same amount of space on a line, essential for tabular uniformity as well as, say, replacing an "i" with a "w" during the correcting process (no longer an issue, of course). Courier 12 had been put to pasture after several decades of honorable service, like an aging, elegant diplomat whose crisp, cream-colored linen suit and genteel demeanor now seem winningly old-fashioned. www.slate.com /id/2095809   (1280 words)

Chicago Manual of Style - Q & A - Manuscript Preparation (A typeface is a collection of all the characters—letters, numbers, etc.—and styles—roman, italic, boldface, etc.—of a given design of type like Courier New or Caslon; such typefaces are, however, often spoken of as fonts.) Lots of people became used to reading such typewritten manuscripts. For most of the twentieth century, typewriters ensured that manuscripts were typically prepared in a fixed-width typeface resembling, for example, Courier New. Whatever you choose, avoid overly stylized fonts, and, if possible, stick to one typeface. www.press.uchicago.edu /Misc/Chicago/cmosfaq/cmosfaq.ManuscriptPreparation.html   (1280 words)

comp.fonts FAQ: General Info (4/6) Courier is a typeface derived from typewriter styles. The main characteristics of old style typefaces are low contrast with diagonal stress, and cove or "bracketed" serifs (serifs with a rounded join to the stem of the letter). Script typefaces are based on handwriting; but often this is handwriting with either a flexible steel nib pen, or a broad-edged pen, and is thus unlike modern handwriting. www.faqs.org /faqs/fonts-faq/part4   (7028 words)

Courier (font) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The design of the original Courier New typeface was commissioned in the 1950s by IBM for use in typewriters, but they did not secure legal exclusivity to the typeface and it was soon a standard font used throughout the typewriter industry.

Courier is commonly used in ASCII art because it is a monospace font (which makes it easy to use) and is available almost universally. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Courier_(font)   (217 words)

Textism: Look Over There The body typeface was switched to Courier – partly out of a misty nostalgia for the salad days of Cardigan Industries, when I still had a sense of humour, but mainly to irritate those who wrinkle their nose at Courier – which does tend to look like ass on Windows machines. While it would be nice if there were more to choose from, Georgia and Verdana, designed by Matthew Carter and hinted by Tom Rickner, remain the only consummate achievements in screen type on multiple platforms. Others meanwhile are grousing that the roast pork recipe posted below is in fact a braised pork recipe. textism.com /article/757   (124 words)

Design Observer: writings about design & culture: Errol Morris Blows Up Spreadsheet, Thousands Killed Posted by: Eric Rolph at January 25, 2004 01:02 AM As you may have heard, the U.S. State Department has abandoned Courier as their official document typeface in favor of Times Roman. Then why is it that the typography--the opening credits (set in a horizontally-scaled Verdana), the intertitles (in stretched Times Roman) and the subtitles (in the ever-hackneyed Courier, with a hideous drop shadow)--is so horrible? And thank God for Morris — documentary would be stuck in much of the state it continues to be without him as a guiding light for up and coming filmmakers. www.designobserver.com /archives/000080.html   (1031 words)

History of The Broadsheet The first issues were produced using the computer technology of the time but the Courier style, non-proportional typeface are evidence of how basic the technology was fifteen years ago.

ZBBS In the ZBBS way, chose one typeface, such as Arial, Courier, or Times New Roman, and use it throughout.

Connected Components Another, probably more typical sample: an 8.5 by 11 inch typed page in courier typeface was found to have 2134 connected components in 1.6 seconds, a rate of 1334 chars/sec. In many cases these components correspond to the characters on the page image, although they can be both character fragments or artificially merged characters. This is probably not an entirely typical example since many of the components are small pieces of the binding and page edges. www.cs.berkeley.edu /~fateman/kathey/node12.html   (151 words)

Chicago Manual of Style - Q & A - Manuscript Preparation For most of the twentieth century, typewriters ensured that manuscripts were typically prepared in a fixed-width typeface resembling, for example, Courier New. But since CMS is geared toward the preparation of manuscripts for publication, which usually means that the manuscript will go to a typesetter in the form of an electronic file, we cannot advise adding the extra space, which might show up in the published document as (guess what?) an extra space. Most of our rules on punctuation and capitalization apply to all writing, and we do include recommendations for styling such things as direct and indirect discourse, but the “nuts and bolts” information about publishing and editing is primarily geared toward nonfiction articles and books. www.press.uchicago.edu /Misc/Chicago/cmosfaq/cmosfaq.ManuscriptPreparation.html   (151 words)
