What is the Light Classic font on the Nook?

What font is Light Classic? I haven't been able to find it by that name on any of the pro font sites. I really like tall/narrow serifs, and would like to add it to my Opus, too.

It seems similar to Garamond, but both Adobe and Apple Garamond display really faint, so I think it must be a variant, or maybe B&N had it custom-designed for them?

Any other font fanatics out there that recognize it?

Did you ever get a response? Just upgraded to a Touch but I'd like to use the Classic's font (rooted with FBReader or MoonReader). Thanks

Nope, never figured it out, and switched to using ArnoPro on the Opus, which has a similar feel, although not exact.
