Courier Prime

Alan Dague-Greene · Quote-Unquote Apps · 2015 · OFL-1.1

Courier Prime exists because screenwriting is stuck with Courier — a page of it is a minute of screen time, so the industry cannot leave — and Courier renders badly. Alan Dague-Greene redrew it with proper weight, a real bold and a real italic, keeping the width that makes the page count work. It is the only typewriter face here that comes as a full four-style family rather than a single display cut.

Use Courier Prime on the web

Self-hosted

You serve the file yourself. Nothing depends on this site staying up, and you get the whole character set — all Latin, Latin Extended, Türkçe. The file is courier-prime.woff2, the same one the WOFF2 button above gives you.

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Courier Prime';
  /* Take the WOFF2 button above, put courier-prime.woff2 wherever
     you serve static files from, and point this at it. */
  src: url('/fonts/courier-prime.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

body {
  font-family: 'Courier Prime', monospace;
}

Hosted by us

One line, nothing to upload. Put this in your <head>:

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://thatsmyfont.com">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://thatsmyfont.com/fontfiles/courier-prime.css">

Then use it in your CSS:

body {
  font-family: 'Courier Prime', monospace;
}

One thing to know: the file we host is cut down to Latin characters so pages load quickly. Courier Prime also covers Türkçe, and for those you need the download and the self-hosted route.

Questions

Is Courier Prime free for commercial use?
Yes. Courier Prime is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
Can I use Courier Prime in a logo?
Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Courier Prime belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Alan Dague-Greene. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
How do I install Courier Prime?
Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 4 font files inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
Does Courier Prime support Turkish?
Yes. Courier Prime includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
What languages does Courier Prime support?
Courier Prime covers Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish, across 415 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
What weights does Courier Prime come in?
Courier Prime comes in 2 weights: Regular (400) and Bold (700). Each weight is its own file in the download.
Where can I download Courier Prime as WOFF2?
From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is courier-prime.woff2, and it is about 26 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.

Courier Prime license
