I was planning to use the font that you probably clicked on this thread for as text for my YT, however, I found its history to be quite interesting.
The actual name of the font is Plaza, which was later reworked into Andesite Regular, it was made by Harris Design in the early 1990s (explaining its use in S3K) shortly afterward it was stolen and renamed to Andes (which can be found here). After quite some time the creator of the font completely reworked the font, converting it to the OpenType format as opposed to Apple's TrueType format.
It's amazing how something that has little to no significance on the actual product, has such an interesting story.
