OK, the meaning in CSS is more than the conventional meaning.
For varispaced and serifed, "font-family: serif". 

For monospaced and serifed, "font-family: monospace".  (Courier 
is a likely result.)

For varispaced sans-serifed, "font-family: sans-serif". 

For monospaced sans-serifed, name specific fonts.  Eg. 
"font-family: 'Cascadia Code', 'HyperFont'"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_monospaced_typefaces

Workable although slightly weird.

Thx,                            ... P.
