Monospace
You will find its letters familiar, as it hails from a terran planet much like our own. Researchers believe it is of the san-serif family while a few have even called it "grotesque."

Minispace
As they often travel together, Ziggy Monospace appears to have a symbiotic relationship with the smaller, Ziggy Minispace. Researchers have found this san-serif to be a distant relative of the bitmap family though their evolutionary connection is uncertain.
