Volume 6 is the fourteenth installment in the You Don’t Know Jack franchise, and the sixth general knowledge edition. Titled “The Lost Gold”, it is set in a strange dimension, with the goal to make enough money to free the pirate trapped inside. It was originally released on December 1st of 2003 and is hosted by Josh “Schmitty” Schmitsinstein.

While the YDKJ logo is once more in Franklin Gothic (see the dedicated post), the installment title on the eye patch uses Jack Lantern BB which had been released earlier that year. “Volume” is in Segoe or similar.

The game interface uses various weights and widths from Bureau Grot. This typeface family by David Berlow is based on predigital designs by Stephenson Blake, compare to Grotesque No. 8 and 7.

Ray Cruz designed Fat Albert in the late 1960s or early 1970s. It was originally released through Schaedler, a phototype studio in New York. Cruz himself digitized all three styles – Regular, Outline, Shadow – in 2004 for Bitstream.

By 1974, the squarish sans somehow made it to Italy. There, Fat Albert’s Shadow style was put to bichromatic use for various posters for Thriller. From Wikipedia:

Thriller – A Cruel Picture (Swedish: Thriller – en grym film) is a 1973 Swedish rape-and-revenge exploitation film written and directed by Bo Arne Vibenius under the pseudonym Alex Fridolinski, and starring Christina Lindberg and Heinz Hopf. It tells the story of a mute young woman who is forced into heroin addiction and prostitution, and her subsequent revenge on the men responsible.

In the United States, the movie was also known as They Call Her One Eye.
