Bold print I’d employ initially somehow (8)
I believe the answer is:
intrepid
'bold' is the definition.
('intrepid' can be similar in meaning to 'bold')
'print i'd employ initially somehow' is the wordplay.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
The first letter of 'employ' is 'e'.
'print'+'id'+'e'='printide'
'printide' anagrammed gives 'INTREPID'.
(Other definitions for intrepid that I've seen before include "Novel" , "Fearless, adventurous" , "Audacious" , "'Brave, dauntless (8)'" , "Brave and fearless" .)
