Courier New
Courier was originally designed by Howard Kettler in 1955. It was then redrawn for a series of IBM electric typewriters by Adrian Frutiger, though IBM never secured legal exclusivity to the typeface so it became a typewriter standard. It has also become an industry standard for screenplays to be written in the font.
Courier New was introduced with Windows 3.1, which is an updated version featuring higher line space and heavier punctuation. It is produced by Monotype.
It is monospaced, which means characters line up verically, which is also another reason it may be used over other typefaces.
It has a very formal, thin quality and can be used for a vintage typewriter look. It's spacing and size make it an easy font to read. The typeface was almost released under the name "Messenger", but designer Kettler was quoted saying that the courier "radiates dignity, prestige, and stability."
