Why it works

Cormorant Garamond is a display serif with razor-thin serifs and a tiny x-height, gorgeous at 48px and fragile at 16px — so it takes the headlines and hands body text to Montserrat, whose even geometric strokes render reliably at any size. The pairing balances romance with restraint: Garamond-derived curves supply the elegance, and the neutral sans keeps the layout from feeling like a perfume ad. A staple for wedding sites and refined portfolios.
