ABOUT

John August

John August is a movie director, author and screenwriter. His company is called Quote Unquote Apps. In 2012, he contacted type designer Alan Dague-Greene to come up with a new typeface that matched the metrics of Courier [thus protecting line breaks and page counts in screenplays] while addressing some of its weak spots. The result, Courier Prime, is crisper and a bit heavier, and has true italics. It was tested and retested on a gaggle of active screenwriters until they finally agreed that it was better than the standard Mac Courier and than Courier Final Draft [named after the Courier used in the Final Draft screenwriter software]. It is free and has a generous license. Radio interview.
