Does lawn grass thicken outwards as well as growing upwards?

I recently had to reseed some of my lawn.

It's the rougher part of the garden furthest from the hiuse, and I think the grass in it was more field than lawn if you know what I mean.

I bought lawn seed and spread it. It's now well grown, but quite thin compared to the existing grass. It was put on fairly thick, I didn't scrimp on it.

Wondering now if, over time, that the grass with grow to fill the space better i.e. will it thicken outwards over the years?

Or should I get more seed and throw more down?
