A quick perusal at work didn't turn up any such fonts, but I'll check when I get home. Nonetheless, most layout programs allow the user to create a faux condensed font out of a regular font. You can also tighten up the letter spacing and the word spacing. So Jan's approach might be a good one to take a look at in addition to the ones I suggested.
