Author's note

Bitstream Vera Sans Bold, by Bitstream, is a free humanist sans serif with a straightforward early-digital feel. The letters are broad, dark, and plainspoken, with soft curves in the round forms and sturdy verticals that keep the texture calm rather than slick or geometric.

It fits naturally in software graphics, interface headers, technical documentation, posters, and signage, where that no-nonsense tone feels useful instead of ornamental. As a free font, it also works well for cover lines and short title cards, because the bold weight carries a lot of presence while the shapes still feel familiar and unfussy.
