Answer:

BOLD

Hint:

This clue is a self-referential trick where the answer describes the clue itself. The phrase "what this clue is in" hints at the formatting—since the answer is written in bold letters, the solution is "BOLD." It’s a straightforward example of a clue that points directly to its own presentation rather than relying on wordplay or definitions.
