Etymology

The term 'bold' comes from the Old English word 'beald', which meant brave or daring. In the context of typography, bolding emerged in the 19th century as printing technology advanced, allowing for different styles of typeface to be created. The purpose of bold text is to attract attention and convey importance, a concept that has evolved alongside written language. As printed materials became more popular, the use of bolding became a common practice in publishing, advertising, and various forms of media to ensure key information was easily identifiable.
