If you avoid XC lenses and superzooms, almost all Fuji made XF lenses have enjoyed the "quintessential" reputation.
The one sleeper XC lens is the XC 35 f2, which is optically identical to the XF35 f2.
The quintessential Fuji lenses tend to be small, light, have aperture rings, and capture classic focal lengths (usually 35/50/90 in full-frame terms, which were used by many of the "masters").
So based on that the following models come to mind:
16 f2.8
23 f2
35 f2
56 f1.2
Kit lens 18-55 ("classic" Fuji for its being light and small and uncharacteristically sharp for a kit lens).
There is also the 23 f1.4 and the 35 f1.4 which a lot of people like despite not being quite as optically corrected or fast-focusing as their newer models.
I will also toss in the 27 f2.8 in there for being a pancake lens, which works really well on Fuji's smaller bodies and has a very classic "normal" focal length (40mm in full-frame terms).

Those immediately come to mind as "classic".

The quintessential Fuji lenses tend to fall along quintessential focal lengths, right? You've got wide, standard, portrait, and telephoto.
I would say Fuji's quintessential lenses tend to be rather small and light, they have aperture rings, and they capture classic focal lengths that most people have experience with.
