What is bold?

Bold means something is strong and stands out because it’s shaped differently, like when you write with a big, thick pencil instead of a thin one.

Imagine you're writing your name on a piece of paper. If you use a regular pencil, it looks normal. But if you use a bold pencil, maybe a crayon or a marker, your name becomes bigger and darker, and it grabs attention right away. That’s what bold does in writing: it makes things pop so they’re easier to see.

How Bold Works

When you write with bold, the letters are thicker and sometimes taller. It's like wearing a superhero cape, your words get stronger and more important. You might use bold for titles, names, or anything you want people to notice first.

Think of it like drawing with two pencils at once instead of one. The result is bigger, bolder, and more powerful!
