Pros
Pro Great appearance
Dina is compact, sharp, and easy to read.
Pro Compact yet readable
One of the most compact fonts while still being readable. More lines on screen while still passing basic readability check than Consolas, Courier new, Cascadia Mono, Hack, and Crisp. 8, 9, and 10 point are all fantastic.
Pro A really clean programming font
Neat and simple.
Pro Legible at extremely small point sizes
Tiny Font stands at just 4 pixels short (5 with descenders), yet includes every printable ASCII character.
Cons
Con Bitmap only
Only available in bitmap (unless you find that one dude who converted it into a .ttf).
Con 8, 9, and 10pt only
Limited font size options.
Con Pointless to use this for legibility unless you're on an exceptionally small screen device
The tiny point size does not scale well. It's designed for a singular purpose and does well for that, but unless you're working around those limitations the poor readability will slow down your work.
Con Not as pretty as other fonts
Other options look better than Tiny Font at bigger sizes.
