To shorten the code, you can actually specify all individual font properties in one — the font property. It must include values for:

• font-size
• and font-family

Optionally, it may also include values for:

• font-style
• font-variant
• font-weight
• font-stretch
• and line-height

If one of the non-required values is missing, the browser will use the initial value. For example, if you don't specify the font-style property like in the example above, the browser uses the initial value normal, and the font is regular and not Italic.
