Courier was designed by Howard Kettler for IBM in 1955 and became the defining typeface of 20th-century American paperwork — legal contracts, screenplays, government memos, detective manuscripts. Every character occupies the same width, every page breathes with one-inch margins and ribbon-ink black on warm cream stock.
This system captures that unhurried authority: monospaced columns, paper-fiber warmth, and the formal cadence of a typewriter carriage returning at 65 characters.
Courier 是 Howard Kettler 于1955年为 IBM 设计的等宽字体，随后成为20世纪美国公文、剧本、法律合同与政府备忘录的标准面孔。每个字符占据相同宽度，每一页都呈现出色带墨迹印在暖奶油色纸张上的质感。
这套设计系统提炼了打字机时代的从容权威感：严格等宽的排列、纸纤维的温暖底色、以及打字机滑架在第65个字符处回车的节奏韵律。
