When I saw the title of your post, I thought of a typeface suitable to captioning photographs of people's "moments in life", perhaps for an advertising campaign. Thus, I thought of a semibold script face. Aphrodite is something like what came to my mind.

Clearly, that's not what you would want - and, it seems that the typeface used in your image is one suitable to your purpose.

Camingo Dos, as a random example, would be an alternative to Gill Sans for your purpose. Another one would be Barmeno, which would avoid using Peignot Bold, which would be cliched at this time.

These, though, are just random examples.

I've designed a humanist sans which might be appropriate: Sensibility.

It depends how brushy/hand drawn you want to go.
Is Cronos too casual?

I am exploring all possibilities. One of the most cliche' choice could have been picking a handwritten font to show personal, and connected human moments. Another one would have been to use hourglass, eye etc for logo than a logotype.
This is I believe the harder and the less obvious path. Hence looking at it. While I would want it to be iconic and distinct enough to be noted in the viewers mind. Something similar to how facebook's font is just a bit distinct and not casual/surprisingly distinct.
Any suggestions?

Not sure if this will fit what you want, but you could try Gil Sans.

Er.... correct me if I'm wrong, but that is Gill isn't it?
