Hi all, does anybody know what this bitmapped typeface is? (Vein Magazine)

Looking at the project it seems as though the designer/designers might have bitmapped a classic serif typeface themselves. Though i'm not 100% sure. If they havent, does anybody know what bitmapped edit this is? / If you guys think they have, does anybody know what the original serif typeface is?

 

Thanks a bunch.

Looking at the other spreads, my impression is that they took a generic pixel font and artificially stretched or compressed it as needed. But I’m not sure which width (if any) among those shown is the original.

As for ultra-wide serif typefaces, you can find something of similar proportions among the (not always good) digitisations of the style of lettering used on old trains, for example: Steamroller, Railroad Roman 1916.

Depending how much you want to know, you could try purchasing the PDF issue to see if the name of the typeface is visible in the file info.
