The contrast in Joshua Darden’s Freight Big Black has a 1:100 ratio. I doubt it gets any more extreme than that. :^)

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.

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

Looking for a really fat serif w/ extremely thick stems and extremely thin serifs/bars

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?
