This typeface style is known as "Scotch".  A high-quality, free Scotch 
type-family is "Old Standard".  It covers a wide range of Latin, Greek 
and Cyrillic characters and is rather condensed.  Thus, it may be close 
to what you are looking for.  Because the family is released under the 
SIL Open Font Licence, it would also be possible to adjust it, if 
necessary (e. g. make it heavier).

On these sites you can find two available proprietary Scotch typefaces:
