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:
