You could modify the following macro from font-ini.

\def\fontstylesuffix
  {\ifx\fontalternative\c!tf     \s!Regular \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!bf        \s!Bold \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!sl     \s!Slanted \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!it      \s!Italic \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!bs \s!BoldSlanted \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!bi  \s!BoldItalic \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!sc        \s!Caps \else
                                 \s!Regular \fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi}%
