Still standard for screenplays, legal drafts and anywhere fixed-width text is required.
Where can you use Courier New Font?
Typical uses include screenplays, legal drafts, code samples. Test it at the sizes you actually plan to publish: display styles lose detail in small interface text, and text styles can look flat in a large headline.
Before you use it commercially, open the licence that comes with the file. Free download does not always mean free commercial use, and web embedding is sometimes licensed separately. Our font licensing guide explains the common licence types in plain language.

No. Courier New Font is a commercial typeface, so you need a licence from the foundry or reseller, or access through a subscription service that includes it.
On Windows, right-click the font file and choose Install, or drag it into Settings > Personalisation > Fonts. On macOS, double-click the file and press Install Font in Font Book. On Android and iOS you need a font-installer or design app. Restart the application you are working in so Courier New Font appears in its font menu.
