The Shorthand font Property

Instead of setting each font property individually, they can be set all at once. So by writing:

p { font: italic bold 12px/24px sans-serif }

You'll get something like:

This is a 12pt bold italic sans-serif hunk of text, with a 24pt line height.

And finally, here's the full syntax:

Property Value(s)
font: <style> <variant> <weight> <size>/<line-height> <font-family>
