All original Mac font had a world cities associated with it (thanks to Steve Jobs): Chicago, New York, Geneva, Monaco...
Each font was designed by Susan Kare, who also designed the original Mac OS icon set.
'Los Angeles' was a cursive hand-wirtten style, but few used it.
'San Francisco' was perfect for ransom notes.
The full list (from memory: and I still have an Imagewriter somewhere) was Athen, Cairo, Chicago, Geneva, Los Angeles, Monaco, New York, San Francisco, Venice - though I've also seen Toronto, London and a bitmapped dingbat style font, which used to be known as Taliesin, but changed to something else later on, or was dropped.
