you really don't need this but in case you do...

Screenshot of some font samples, including the classic Mac system font Chicago, here called "Chicago15", used for all menus, window bar titles, system messages, and so on for Mac systems 1-7.5. There is "Chicago30", which is a 2x upscale from Chicago15. Below them are "Monaco11" and "Monaco15", the sans-serif monospace font which has been a default system font from the very first Mac through today, over 40 years later, albeit looking very different due to how much the technology has changed.

...a kind soul has made the effort of compiling various dumps people have made of old Macintosh system fonts (and other user-inaccessible fonts, such as "eWorld Tight 18"!), including bitmap and early OpenType fonts, and released them as uniform FontFactory and Truetype files.

There are hundreds of fonts and variations here. In the days before live onscreen vector graphics each size had to be drawn separately, so they look different in ways you can't replicate just by up/downscaling one font.
