Courier is a monospace slab serif font that resembles the output from a typewriter. The typeface was created by Howard "Bud" Kettler in 1955. 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 soon became a standard font used throughout the typewriter industry. As a monospaced font, it has recently found renewed use in the electronic world in situations where columns of characters must be consistently aligned. It has also become an industry standard for all screenplays to be written in 12 pt Courier or a close variant, and it is widely used by computer programmers to write source code.
12 point Courier New was also the US State Department's standard typeface until January 2004, when it was replaced with 14 point Times New Roman. Reasons for the change included the desire for a more "modern" and "legible" font.
Kettler was once quoted about how the name was chosen. The font was nearly released with the name "Messenger." After giving it some thought, Kettler said, "A letter can be just an ordinary messenger, or it can be the courier, which radiates dignity, prestige, and stability."

In ASCII art
Courier is commonly used in ASCII art because it is a monospace font (which makes it easy to use) and is available almost universally. "Solid-style" ASCII art uses the darkness/lightness of each character to portray an object, which can be quantified in pixels (here in pt. 12):

In programming
Courier New is used extensively in programming; on Microsoft Windows it is the default monospace font for a variety of applications. Below is a sample of code written using Courier New:
Microsoft, however, is intending to dethrone Courier New as the the default monospaced font in the next version of windows, Windows Vista, and is including its new Consolas font as the primary monospaced font.

Courier News Online - The perfect spiral: There's more to passing the football than just throwing it
Bridgewater Courier News - Oct 07 10:06 PM It's not rocket science, but it's close. There's talk of perpendicular angles, the transfer of weight, trajectories and spin. It's a chain reaction that takes years to perfect, and if one thing goes wrong, it throws the whole operation out of whack.

Courier News Online - Fifty years following perfect game, Larsen happy fishing in Idaho
Bridgewater Courier News - Oct 07 10:06 PM HAYDEN, Idaho -- In many ways, Don Larsen's license plate says it all: DL000. The three zeros stand for runs, hits and errors, a reminder that Larsen threw the only perfect game, and only no-hitter, in World Series history 50 years ago.
