unbolded

Without heavy type

Unbolded describes text that lacks bold formatting—appearing in regular weight rather than the heavier strokes used for emphasis.

The term belongs to word processing and digital publishing: Make sure the body text is unbolded.

Something can be unbolded as a verb, meaning to remove bold formatting: I unbolded the headings to make them less prominent.
