I remember using a Mac Plus for newspaper layout in 1986, and I used their 'timesy' font a thousand times. It really BOTHERS me that I can't remember that name that I selected from the font menu a thousand billion times.

The original Mac laser fonts: Avant Garde, Bookman, Courier, Helvetica, New Century Schoolbook, Palatino, Symbol, Times, and Zapf Chancery.

Perhaps it was one of those?

If you had a LaserWriter, it would have been "Times". Otherwise, "New York". The original Macintosh fonts were named after cities (Chicago, Geneva, New York, London, Venice, San Francisco, and two others I can't remember (one was rather blocky; the other had an uppercase "M" that looked like an oversized lowercase one). IIRC, an early magazine article about the Macintosh have the names of the above fonts as "System", "?", "Roman(?)", "Old English", "Cursive", "Ransom", "?", and "Ardmore".
