There should be an obvious difference in visual states for unread vs read message boards threads. This was introduced in LPS-77263 for Liferay 7.1, but as Lexicon fonts seemed to have evolved over time this difference is less obvious now in 7.3.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add two message boards threads to an MB site widget
2. Add a new user, log in and view one of the posts
3. Navigate home
4. View difference in visual states of read/unread posts

Expected result:
It should be very obvious which posts are read and which ones are unread.

Actual result:
The unread posts have a darker font, but the contrast is not very obvious. The font could be made darker/bolder.

Reproduced on:
Tomcat 9.0.33 + HSQL 2.3.
