Most likely that would be topaz/8, as that one comes in the kickstart ROM
and is the default standard font.

However, there are two versions of it, the old KS1 and the newer KS2
version, which are essentially two completely different fonts with the
same size and boldness. The older one is the one with the classic
reputation. I think Topaz New is based on that one, although I'm not sure
as I haven't ever actually seen Topaz New.
