A sans serif font trademarked by Bitstream, Inc.
Vera Sans has a large x-height and generous aperatures, and should retain readability at smaller sizes. But I find the bold lowercase a tends to “fill in” and become difficult to read at 14px and smaller on Windows browsers (Safari, IE, Chrome, and Firefox) when tested on crossbrowsertesting.com. Thus, while text is comfortable to read at 14px, I recommend using Vera Sans bold at 15px and larger.
Vera Sans comes in regular, bold, italic, and bold italic. It is available for free download at fontsquirrel.com. It is also available via typekit.com.
