While many implementations of Garamond at small optical sizes already exist (including the open-sourced EB Garamond by Georg Duffner), Cormorant aims for the sparsely populated niche of display-size counterparts that exploit the high resolution of contemporary screens and print media to the fullest.
C
ormorant is an original design for an extravagant display serif typeface inspired by the Garamond heritage, hand-drawn and produced by Catharsis Fonts. While traditional Garamond cuts make for exquisite reading at book sizes, they appear clumpy and inelegant at larger sizes. The design goal of Cormorant was to distill the æsthetic essence of Garamond, unfetter it from the limitations of metal printing, and allow it to bloom into its natural refined form at high definition.
❦ Cormorant Garamond ❦ C GINTRODUCTION
Cormorant is characterized by scandalously small counters, razor-sharp serifs, dangerously smooth curves, and flamboyantly tall accents.
While Cormorant’s quality is most evident in titling and poster usage at the largest sizes, its Garamond genome renders it highly legible down to text sizes on high-resolution devices and in print. This is particularly true about the «Cormorant Garamond» cuts of the typeface.
GRA A MOND
Cwormorant Garamond is influenced by Garamond, however when looking closer at the cap height, Cormorant Garamond has a slightly shorter X height. It is also thinner than Garamond with the serifs coming to a tight point too.

Mānawatia a Matariki Pukapuka hei mahi
Ka aro tēnei pukapuka hei mahi ki ngā kaupapa matua e toru, hei whakaako hoki ki a koe ngā āhuatanga mō Matariki.
Nō te whetū matua o Te Iwa o Matariki te ingoa Matariki. He maha ngā iwi puta noa i Aotearoa [New Zealand] kua whaitake ki a Matariki – e whitu ngā whetū ki tēnā iwi, e iwa ngā whetū kei tēnā iwi. He hononga tō ngā āhuatanga tuku iho a-iwi ki te mātahi o te tau hei mihi ki ngā mea nui o ō rātou oranga.
Ka whiti mai te kāhui o Matariki hei te ata i te paerangi ki te rāwhiti i mua tonu i a Tamanui-Te-Rā. Ka tohua te tīmatanga o Te Mātahi o Te Tau, te Tau Hou Māori rānei.
Hei te wā o Matariki, he wā kia noho piri koe ki tō whānau, ō hoa me tō hāpori kia whaiwhakaaro mō ngā āhuatanga o mua, kia whakanui te nāianei, kia māheretia te anamata.
Ka whakanuia te tīmatatanga o te tau hou hei te kaupeka o takurua (Hune – Hūrae)
