it's a little formal.

it can be heard at tv news, it's read in books. A teacher can (may ?)  say that in a lesson.

but you won't heard that in a supermarket to buy potatoes.

t's the opposite in english.  a journalist would not write it, but people will say "a good number of people" to say there weren't a lot of people, but a quite a large number.
