Looks like a typical large-page newspaper to me. And it looks like it is scanned and not converted to text. Zooming in improves things slightly until the text gets fuzzy again. The PDF version of this is far worse than the online google version. (The google clip tool does an admirable [not perfect] job of turning the fuzzy text into plain copy/paste-able text.) I think most of the blame for the awful appearance of the text is insufficient resolution of the scan, but given pages this huge they had to make some kind of compromise or the PDF would be unreasonably huge.
