That looks very much as if it started out at a much lighter weight and had an outline added to artificially bold it. What I'm looking at is the thickness of the serifs and their square tips. If that's an artifact of your enlarging and smoothing, rather than something in the original, you should probably mention that. Otherwise this may be a wild goose chase.

I think I got it.
It must be a modified SERLIO (fattened & stretched).

In fact that was the only one I found during my searches with such a
specially shaped upper case S. But as the font was so much lighter than
the one I was looking for I didn't take a closer look at it.

Thanks a lot for your hint,
Marc
