    Designed for newspaper printing, so it’s exceedingly narrow, and it’s also intended for ink which will ‘bleed’ a bit, so the fine details are too fine for high quality prints.

    If you’re arranging text into two-inch wide columns and then printing with a high-speed roller, then it might be a good choice.

    But since that’s niche and very unlikely, it’s probably a bad choice. It’s also a terrible on-screen font, and since the cost of rendering a web page isn’t meaningfully affected by the size of the glyphs, then there’s no justification for choosing it for web purposes.
