Serif Normal Pomiz 3 is a very bold, wide, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Century 725' by Bitstream, 'Surveyor' by Hoefler & Co., 'Favorite Stencil JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Georgia Pro' by Microsoft (names referenced only for comparison).

A robust serif with heavy stems, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and firmly bracketed serifs that read as traditional rather than geometric. Counters are compact and the overall texture is dark, with sturdy verticals and rounded bowls that keep the weight from feeling brittle. Lowercase forms show a moderate x-height with strong, swelling joins and noticeable ball/teardrop terminals (notably on forms like a, c, f, j, y), adding a slightly calligraphic finish to an otherwise conventional build. Numerals are weighty and clear, with old-style-like curves and strong top/bottom serifing that match the capitals.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other display-to-large text applications where a dense, traditional serif voice is desired. It also works well for editorial and book titling, cover typography, and brand systems that need a classic, authoritative presence.
The tone is confident and formal, evoking established print traditions—newspaper headlines, book typography, and institutional communications. Its dark color and assertive serifs create a sense of authority and gravity, while the rounded terminals keep it from feeling overly severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with extra visual weight for impact, preserving familiar text-serif construction while emphasizing strong contrast, bracketed serifs, and bold presence for print-forward settings.
Spacing appears generous for such a heavy cut, helping retain legibility in larger settings and short text blocks. The design favors strong vertical emphasis and sturdy serif rhythm, producing a steady, traditional cadence across mixed-case text.
