I haven't taken a look at that document yet, but the font you describe 
sounds to me like Senator, manufactured by Emigre. It comes in a variety 
of weights, and includes a "tall" rendition. I'd be surprised if that 
weren't it, though it could be another Emigre face. Another place to ask 
is the comp.fonts newsgroup.
