Looking for DeBeers or Tiffany font

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a font similar to that featured in the "A Diamond is Forever" print ads. (For reference, see here: http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2007/08/06/debeers-1_25.jpg).

I know it's very "generic," but it has many subtleties. Be specific.

The Tiffany and Co font would work as a backup.

Thanks so much!

I wouldn't consider it generic at all. It's the lovely Perpetua Titling.

FWIW: Tiffany and Co. uses Sterling by H&FJ. But it was commissioned by T&Co. for their use only. Aside from print ads, there are examples of it on the AIGA website in the Design Archives.

Which typeface is Sterling? Is that their take on Perpetua?

Basically, yes; sort of.
