The best typography of the 1950s, as chosen by experts
Briefly

Courier is synonymous with screenwriting and more broadly, the utilitarian aesthetic of mid-century communication. This monospaced slab serif was created to mimic the output of a typewriter, ensuring every character occupied the same horizontal space. This feature made it ideal for aligning columns of text, whether in coding, screenwriting, or tabular data.
At a time when script and calligraphic typefaces were overly fussy and clamouring for attention, Courier's purposeful simplicity made it stand apart. Where other fonts sought to dazzle, Courier exuded a quiet confidence and effortless legibility, inviting you to channel your inner screenwriter, secretary or secret spy.
