fc-list says:
Antykwa Torunska Condensed,AntykwaTorunskaCond Light:style=Light,Regular
Antykwa Torunska Condensed,AntykwaTorunskaCond Light:style=Light
Italic,Italic

With fontspec XeLaTeX, it works for Antykwa Torunska Condensed Light in
both normal and \itshape style. I suppose this one needs more
alternative for LuaLaTeX which cannot be derived easily automatically
from fontconfig.
