People are speaking my language! In a piece titled “Farewell, Courier Font” (Feb. 27, 2022), the Law Journal’s Editorial Board wrote:

The revised R. 2:6-10 finally recognizes that the typewriter is a thing of the past and that proportional fonts are not a mere subterfuge to squeeze more words into the same space. Instead of 65-space lines of 12-point type, the familiar courier font, henceforth all briefs shall be in 14-point Times New Roman, presumably to accommodate the eyesight of the more senior members of the bench. [Emphasis added.]

The change was listed in the 2022 Report of the Supreme Court Civil Practice Committee. Note that R. 2:6-10 is found in Part II, which governs New Jersey appellate procedure, so check your local rules if your matter is not in the Appellate Division. But I think this topic is still worth discussing on a general level.
