  The improved sensitivity of current-generation atmospheric-Cherenkov
telescope (ACT) arrays enables us to probe for the first time
low-frequency-peaked and intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lac (LBL and IBL,
respectively) objects as very high energy (VHE) $\gamma$-ray emitters. VERITAS
is currently one of the most sensitive VHE gamma-ray observatories in the world
and is particularly suited to study these objects. In this paper we will
present recent results from VERITAS observations of a selected set of LBLs and
IBLs.
