" ... Univers Condensed. That terminology is not used in the real 
typeface. Its designer used numbers instead."

Yes, Frutiger used numbers, but most current implementations, 
including those from Agfa/Monotype and Linotype, use either the 
original numbers AND a text description or jus the text description in 
the font names. "Univers LT Std 57 Cn", for example. Neither foundry 
is known for cheap knockoffs or pirated copies :)
