Where do you go to find fonts?

I'm currently on the lookout for something quite specific:

Old style serif
Fairly heavy (not light at least)
Low contrast
Close to upright axis

I'm hoping those terms make sense, I'm not an expert :)

Where would you go for specific requirements like this? Most websites I find only have basic filters like serif/sans serif. Any suggestions for where to look, or maybe you know a nice font that fits what I listed above?

news.ycombinator.com and search for font. Lots of fonts get posted to hackernews.

Google fonts: https://fonts.google.com/

https://www.programmingfonts.org/ but those are monospace.

Monospace fonts are the best fonts
