NBC Olympic Font

Can't find an image anywhere, so you'll have to watch the Olympics on NBC tonight. ;)

I'm trying to identify the transitional font used in their splashes and graphics mattes. I believe they also use it during Bob Costas' commentating for the on-screen graphics.

My initial impression is Officina Serif, but I'm sure you guys can nail it exactly.

Second guess: Jones?

Sorry about the low-quality pics. I had to freeze a frame on my tv and take a digital shot.

It's not Officina, but that's all I know.

(edit) yes Jones looks right but either there's a bolder version or they bolded it by hand.
