Bold Upright Math \mathbf

When to use Bold Upright Math

Applies bold upright styling to Latin letters and numbers. In source, start from the exact \mathbf command instead of imitating the rendered glyph with Unicode characters or manual spacing. This keeps the expression editable and gives the renderer enough structure to apply mathematical spacing correctly.

Syntax

\mathbf

The documented syntax belongs to Core LaTeX. Keep every required argument, brace pair, and environment boundary intact when moving the command between an editor, Markdown processor, notebook, or publishing system.

Example

\mathbf{v}

Rendered output

bold upright v

Copy and compatibility checks

• Copy \mathbf exactly; changing its case or removing a leading backslash can turn it into plain text.
• Confirm that the destination loads Core LaTeX before relying on this command.
• Render the example once, then inspect grouping, limits, scripts, and spacing before publishing.
