Looking for a really fat serif with extremely thick stems and extremely thin serifs/bars. Something along the line of Didot in terms of contrast, but with thicker stems then even Heavy Bodoni.
Anyone know any type foundries that would have a font like this?

There's a high contrast section in there.

Ambroise Black: I don't know if it is fatter, but it has more character.

Thanks guys.
But not quite what im looking for. I might have to custom make it. I just wanted an obscenely fat serif with a hairline stress. Nothing that could be used for body copy at all.
The contrast in Joshua Darden's Freight Big Black has a 1:100 ratio. I doubt it gets any more extreme than that. :^)
for reference, Freight Big Black at 388 pts.
