Seems close, but actually, I don't think so.
Copy one of the "NEW" (yellow) icons and paste it into MS Word. It's an image, black text on a bright, yellow background, and you can grab a corner and stretch it to a large size. When I did this, the 'W' in particular is quite different from Garamond. The 'N', too, really.
It's one of what I think of as 'techno' fonts...made to look like the characters on some old, black and white (or green and white) PC screens from the 80's. Reminds me very much of many of the computer displays in the movie "War Games"
Yet I still can't find a font to match....don't know any easy way to search.
It's a mystery and I haven't got the patience to keep investigating. But ooo, do I love trying to figure out stuff like this (symptom of dorkiness? ;-))....that is, until my ADD-brain loses interest and suddenly doesn't love it any more!
