Help with identifying secondary font on The Substance movie poster

Featured Replies

Hello guys, been a while since I've posted here but I am currently venturing into the world of movie poster designs (personal project for my portfolio) and I am tackling an original concept for one of my favourite movies from 2024, The Substance. I would like to achieve an authentic look and since the marketing/design team did such a great job on the typography for the film, both in-film and all promotional material, I've decided to try and match the fonts from the official one sheet. However I can't get any close matches using online photo matching tools so hoping the typophile community can help me out.

To clarify I am looking for the font directly under the main title, I'm well aware the main title font is custom made by Gilles Pointeau (https://www.instagram.com/pointeaupointgilles/?hl=en), of which there is an interesting interview with the film's director but annoyingly she doesn't give any shout-out to the actual designer, but I do believe they are mentioned in the film's end credits: https://www.polygon.com/movies/455942/substance-director-interview-branding-design).

Thanks in advance and hope you all had an excellent Christmas break.
