As an example of use for a specific effect, in my stories I use Courier New for (1) text displayed on a screen and (2) printed text (such as on a sign). To me, using it it in that manner aids the reader in understanding the story. However, I keep the number of typefaces in my stories to a limited number, usually no more than four (main text, various headings, and one or two for special effects).
