“Not bold enough” is a pun on the boldface font.
 
 
Wikipedia: Emphasis (typography)
In typography, emphasis is the strengthening of words in a text with a font in a different style from the rest of the text, to highlight them. It is the equivalent of prosody stress in speech.
 
Methods and use
The most common methods in Western typography fall under the general technique of emphasis through a change or modification of font: italics, boldface and SMALL CAPS.
