bolding
Making type heavier
Bolding is the act of making text bold—darker and heavier than surrounding type for emphasis.
The term appears mainly in design and word-processing contexts: Try bolding the headline to make it stand out.
Less common than "making bold" or "putting in bold," but increasingly standard as a verb form.
