bold-faced
Heavy type, typographically
Bold-faced means shameless or brazen, describing someone who acts without embarrassment or attempts to conceal wrongdoing: a bold-faced lie, bold-faced hypocrisy.
The image is of someone whose face shows no shame—they look you right in the eye while deceiving you.
