I'm looking for some font ideas for a project. I need a font that looks good in very heavy weights... Slab serifs are a bit too chunky for my purposes though.
Something like Clarendon Heavy, but if I don't see anything better it's what I'll be using.
The thing I like about Clarendon are both 'c' characters. I know I'm kind of stupid and all but if you guys can think of anything let me know.
Also if you hate me asking questions, tell me and I'll try to wait until I have actually meaningful ones.

Volta. Much like Clarendon, but with a cooler name.
