DisplayFormula is just type of cell for holding a nicely formatted formula that won't be executed, AFAIR. The Courier font is probably being inherited from the definition of StandardForm. I ran across that bit of info when I was contemplating creating a DocBookStyleSheet (lol) that I could reference when exporting expressions (wrapped in Notebook & Cell & BoxData & ToBoxes, because that's so obvious when reading the documentation...)
