Prestige Elite, also known simply as Prestige, is a monospaced typeface.

It was created by Howard Kettler in 1953 for IBM. Along with Courier, it was extremely popular for use in electric typewriters, especially the IBM Selectric. Unlike Courier, however, its popularity has not extended into the computer age; while Prestige software fonts can be obtained, they are not in wide use.
