About Cousine
Steve Matteson designed Cousine as a metrically compatible alternative to Courier, making it a practical drop-in replacement in environments that depend on fixed-width spacing without the typewriter aesthetic. Its coverage extends to Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, and Vietnamese — far broader than most courier-style fonts. The result is a sturdy, neutral monospace that serves technical documents, legal filings, and code display across multiple writing systems.
