bold
Unafraid of risk
Bold describes willingness to take risks or face challenges without fear: a bold move, a bold strategy.
It can shade toward audacious or presumptuous: That was bold of you to ask.
In design and typography, bold means visually prominent—heavy strokes that stand out: Set the title in bold.
Bold flavors are strong and distinct.
To be bold as brass is to act with shameless confidence.
