Author's note

Bitstream Vera Serif Bold, by Bitstream, is a free bold serif with a practical old-style flavor. The letters feel sturdy and familiar, with broad, bracketed serifs, a large x-height, and a plainspoken rhythm that keeps the weight from turning stiff or formal.

It fits naturally in editorial headings, book jackets, academic posters, software graphics, and newsletter mastheads, where a free font needs presence without drama. Because the shapes are solid and conventional, it also works well for cover lines, pull quotes, and short title treatments that need a dependable serif voice rather than a period pastiche.
