HELP !!! You didn't see me rushing to change it...
For the record, I never cared for the drawings of the Bitstream fonts. In the days of setting type, it was noticed that Bitstream's letter count per line was less than other manufacturers. They had made their fonts "wider." I was happier using the URW fonts - they were so well drawn (they used a system called Ikarus) and the fonts were set up where the letters truly fit very well together.
Most of the time when I see a Bitstream font named - I give the real font name. Like yesterday someone put in Exotic - and I went in with Peignots... (which one type shop enjoyed calling Pig Nuts...) Later... I have a road trip in front of me... and much to do before I leave.
Not much help - but this looks like someone redrew, extended, had fun with - Friz Quadrata Bold
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/friz-quadrata/ It looks like someone condensed Trade Gothic Bold Condensed No. 20 to make that font...
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/trade-gothic/ I don't know this one - but it is so similar to Upadok (all but the K)
http://www.paratype.com/pstore/fonts/Upadok.htm On second thought - it might be Modena

HELP !!! LOL - as I stated "or it's another manufacturers." Sashi, even Bitstream gives Berthold credit for designing City. In the States, a judge once ruled that if a manufacturer copies a font and changes just three characters - it's a new font. That is why in the late 60s and 70s, when we switched to cold type -- the hot metal houses waited for Helvetica - the real deal - to come -- and the cold type manufacturers were putting together their own Helveticas (i.e. Alphatype's Claro.)
Now Bitstream came along and did not want to pay royalties. So they redrew every font and gave them all new names. There is a site that has most of the Bitstream fonts labeled as to what they were suppose to be.
So, you are right that the N came from them - but the typesetter in me needs to give the credit to the actual owner of the font.
Many times, I've given the name of a font, and then learned it was not the "original." Akira loves stepping on me over at myfonts, and I cannot begin to tell you how much more I learned from him over the years (of not having a typeshop anymore...)
It was probably hand tailored Rocamaco
And Nina, you are most welcome.

Font? I don't know about that R - it's like a Clarendon/Bodoni kind of a thing - but if you'd like something very similar (for all the other letters) you may want to consider Schadow Black Condense
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream/schadow/
or Schadow Antiqua - which I can't seem to find - my fonts lists it - but the font they've put for it is TSI Romic. Go figure!

You are welcome.
Also Bitstream's Swiss 721 is the same...
