That's not a face.  You're confusing the face-spec passed to `defface`
with an actual face.

You can use

(setq ovstring
      (propertize "Hi, there!" 'face
                               '((:foreground "magenta" :weight bold) default)))

tho I'd recommend you use one of

    (defface foo-bar
      '((t (:foreground "magenta" :weight bold :inherit default))))
    [...]
      (setq ovstring (propertize "Hi, there!" 'face 'foo-bar))

or

    (defface foo-bar
      '((t (:foreground "magenta" :weight bold))))
    [...]
      (setq ovstring (propertize "Hi, there!" 'face '(foo-bar default)))
