That would fix the syntax, but the rule still isn't very useful, from any
perspective. The Times font is rather rare on users' computers; "Times New
Roman" is much more common, and typically the default.

Times, Times New Roman, or any other serif font isn't a reasonable
substitute Bank Gothic, which seems to be a sans-serif font, with a rather
geometric (square) design, with small-caps as lowercase letters. Using
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-variant: small-caps
would take you much closer, though still rather far from Bank Gothic.

On the other hand, a font like Bank Gothic is quite unsuitable for use as a
basic font, especially for copy text. Bulks of text in small-caps text is
almost as poorly readable as all-uppercase.
