The Bold option will help users highlight certain words in their tweets. Although users can do this manually by copying and pasting text from other third-party tools, the ability to edit on Twitter has not yet been available.
Other options include adding an underline feature, which will also help users highlight text within their tweets. So far, this is only achievable through third-party tools.
The last option would be for users to adjust font size. It remains hard to imagine what options will be available for the font size, and no additional details reveal whether the bigger font will affect the word count of the tweets.

Musk: "Twitter will continue to recommend brevity in tweets."
