    I think it's a custom one - I've used all the font-checker sites I normally do (Whatfontis, Identifont,etc) but nothing found.

    If you look at the S characters you'll see that they're both different. That would be unusual for a pre-set font?

    Aha, I didn't think of comparing both letters 'S'. Duh. Nice catch.

    You're right, that pretty much means it's custom-made. :(

    I like the fact they're having to set everything with that bit more effort. Custom rather than off-the-shelf.

    Shows the attention to detail they're taking this time.

    If you rewatch the trailer, it's handwritten text. It could be easy to recreate though, it's a little like the Madonna handwriting font in caps.

    Exactly! If it's not personal within lyrics this time, it is definitely dedication-wise in a visual, creative way... if that makes any sense to you at all.

    The handwriting, or the labels on the site?

    The sans-serif on the site looks like Sofia Pro ...

    Yeah, I figured out the Sofia Pro font used throughout the website. It's the artwork that I'm curious about. :)

    There were some similar-ish ones when I was searching. I'll go and get some names.....

    The problem is that many fonts have some letters spot on and others totally different due to the custom nature. So frustrating, as I think we've both found already!

    Ratate a few a bit and so close....but not close enough....or free enough.

    It looks to me like the lettering is original hand-writing rather than a conventional font. Very arty and personal if I'm right.
