Courier AI image prompts
The slab-serifed monospace designed for IBM typewriters in 1955, so ubiquitous it became the visual default of the typewritten page — and, by industry decree, of the screenplay. Every glyph marches at the same fixed width. Use the prompts below in Midjourney, DALL·E, or Stable Diffusion — or build your own from the Courier vocabulary.
