Will,
Bold text is normally wider than normal text but not always. It has to do with how each letter was implemented in the font. You happened to pick a word where the bold letter is thinner than the corresponding normal letter. In this case both the H and E are thinner.

Try some other words or singular letters to find out the differences. :-)
