Courier New is the monospace overlay in the registry

/fonts/courier is the Code Style face — a terminal overlay you set on a line. It is not a generated CRT, and it is not the Ink card.

Courier New sits in the caption and overlay registry as id courier, category monospace, preview Code Style, stack 'Courier New', Courier, monospace. It is a face you pick for a line you wrote. It is not a video model, not Ideogram, and not a phosphor room you prompt into existence.

The registry face, not a generate

The font catalog is twenty-three faces the overlay renderer actually ships. Courier is the monospace cut. Authored role on that page: typewriter voice — receipts, terminals, screenplays, "evidence." Authored caveat: monospace wastes width; long captions wrap early and look like code blocks whether you want that or not.

That pair is the product. Use Courier when the line is a flag, a SKU, a receipt, a command, a timestamp that should feel typed. Do not use it for running subtitles of a spoken paragraph. The wrap will read as a compiler dump on a muted feed.

list_caption_fonts returns the registry by category, including monospace. Pass font_id courier. Prompting a model to "set this in Courier New on a CRT" is a generate. You will get a picture of type, not editable type.

None of the 45 caption-studio presets currently join on fontId: courier. Ink, Classic, Hype and the rest bind Inter, TikTok Sans, Poppins, and so on. Courier is a face on an overlay you configure, not a family among the nine groups.

Overlay the line. Do not bake the terminal.

Add a text overlay to a video burns one authored string for the whole clip: hook, badge, CTA, the command itself. Position is top, center, or bottom. Optional background block. Font size and color are yours. The tool does not transcribe. Silence in the file does not change the string.

The agent verb is the same job. Add a text overlay to my video takes the video, the exact text, and where it should sit. Flat per-video fee, shown before render. It does not listen. If nobody said the flag name out loud, transcription cannot print it. Overlay can.

If the copy has to change at 0s, 2s, and 4s, that is timed overlays, not one persistent headline. Courier still works there as the face. The timing tool is a different named job.

Lock the picture first. Type hides whether the demo is right. Burn after crop. A line that sat clean on 16:9 sits in the chrome after a 9:16 crop. Asking an image model to draw the headline into the shot is how you get a misspelled command you cannot edit.

Ink is a card. Courier is a face.

Ink is a caption family: white text on a black rounded card, kind subtitle, fontId inter, position bottom on the base preset. Variants: square corners (ink_square), 70% translucent (ink_sheer), navy (ink_navy), top of frame (ink_top). The group lives at caption styles / Ink. That card is cinematic chrome. It is not Courier.

The terminal look people actually ship is often the combination: Ink's black card, Courier as the face on an overlay you wrote. Combination is finishing. It is not a tenth family you invent in a prompt. Ink will keep Inter unless you set courier on the overlay.

There is no preset named terminal. There is a monospace in the font registry, and there is a black-card family named Ink. A generate of "green phosphor CRT, scanlines" is a picture of a computer, not a line you can restyle next week.

Courier's pitch eats width. Keep overlay lines short. If the claim needs a sentence, pick a proportional face and keep Courier for the badge.

Not Ideogram, not a CRT plate

Courier New is a system face. The registry does not load a webfont for it; the stack resolves locally, with Arial, Times, and Impact. Prompting an image model to "be Courier" is wasted motion. The renderer already has the face.

Do not generate a terminal world so the type will "feel native." Do not ask Ideogram to letter the command into a still, then animate that still. Set courier on the overlay. If you also want the black card, use Ink as the subtitle preset for speech, or draw the block as the overlay background.

If the first line has to read as typed evidence, Courier is the cut. If it has to read as a social caption, it is not. Spend Code Style on the line that is actually a command.

FAQ

Is Courier New a caption-studio family like Ink?

No. Ink is a five-preset subtitle group on Inter with a black card. Courier is a monospace in the font registry — id courier, preview Code Style — that you set on an overlay. Combine them in finishing. Do not expect a Courier family among the nine groups.

Can I prompt a video model to typeset Courier on a CRT?

You can. You will get a picture of type, not this font. Courier New is an overlay face. Generated glyphs are a new generate every time the command changes.

Does the overlay tool transcribe if I pick Courier?

No. Overlay never listens. Font choice does not turn it into captions. If someone spoke, that is the transcribe-and-caption job. If you wrote the line, burn it here in courier.

Why does a long Courier caption look like a code dump?

Monospace wastes width. The registry caveat is the product limit. Keep Code Style for short badges and commands. Running sentences belong on a proportional face.
