I found this lovely condensed sans laying around somewhere. It’s a PostScript font from 1997 and a search for its name comes up empty. Does anyone recognize it? Might it be a typeface borrowed from another and renamed? I need to find a cross platform Open Type face that's a good match if not the same one.

The #4 is especially telling and the high cap height is unique as well.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like a thin version of Helvetiva Inserat, if there were such a thing.

It's a really sweet face. We used it for a client's website and just assumed that the print projects would employ it as well. But if we can't find a licensed PC version to buy we'll have to choose something else. Too bad, it's a beautiful face in usage. Short ascenders and descenders, high x-height and round shapes that have a nice edge to them.
