Is it nonboldface? Is bold's antonym nonbold? Is it unemboldened? Is it hyphenated? What word do I use to mean text that is not in boldface style?

2Boldface, italic, underlined, etc., are all variations to "normal" type, so that's effectively the antonym for all of them. If you really need an antonym for boldface, it should probably be non-boldface, but most people would be glad to settle for non-bold. – FumbleFingers Dec 14 '11 at 22:14

I have seen lightface used for not boldface. – GEdgar Dec 14 '11 at 22:55

Roman is the technical term for non-bold, non-italic.
Bold refers to the weight of a typeface. A non-bold typeface, regardless of any other properties, is called light.

According to Wikipedia, apparently the following are acceptable: Normal / regular / roman / plain – Dave Dec 15 '11 at 15:11

I would call this type of text simple or plain. However, I don't think this is an antonym for boldface. It is just text which isn't bold-faced, italicised or underlined.

Apart from the answers given above, I would like to provide one. A Non-bold type face is often also called as a regular type face.
