LaTeX - Make a lighter version of text, for example, anti-bold?

Question

I am making a LaTeX document for someone. A specific piece of text looks “bold” to them, although I do not use the command \textbf. This is the default default LaTeX font. Is there any command to make the "lighter version", i.e. Make text easier, thinner? Something that looks like plain text, what normal text looks bold?

Answer 5

If you want to make a small section easier, you can use

\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{light}{rgb}{0.5, 0.5, 0.5}
\def\light#1{{\color{light}#1}}

then wrap the text you want to make it easier

\light{some text to make lighter}
