The Susan Kare icons, fonts, and visual design elements gave the original Macintosh a quirky visual charm that modern Apple systems and gadgets, slick as they may be, seem to lack.
Their design was/is deceptively simple - subtle and brilliant with a sense of fun.
All the original Mac bitmap fonts are beautiful. Monaco 9 is surprisingly legible at 1:1 resolution on my 4K monitor (though unfortunately Apple broke bitmap font rendering in Terminal on macOS Monterey.)
I don't know whether the Chicago font is original to the Mac, but I still see examples of it everywhere.
