bold lines

Thick, prominent marks

Bold lines are thick, prominent strokes in drawing, design, or writing—lines that stand out against finer ones.

In visual arts and graphic design, bold lines create emphasis, define boundaries, or establish hierarchy: The architect used bold lines to outline the building's silhouette.

The phrase can describe any strong visual demarcation: Bold lines separated the sections of the chart.
