As a lay person who likes to look at fonts closely, the purpose they are intended for matters. I don't like the Atkinson font for body text because I find it too round. For a transit sign I suppose it is fine since it would be printed at display sizes and only momentarily gazed at.

Calibri is a high-quality font that works as body text, but it's cold.

Times NR on paper is fine, on screen it is not fine unless you have a high resolution display.
