## font

In CSS, there are various shorthand properties; these allow you to define several properties in a single place.

The font shorthand property allows you to set:
`[font-style | font-variant | font-weight ]? font-size[/line-height]? font-family`

Example 3.42 - font shorthand - Example 3.42 (Without Styles) | <div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Cras sollicitudin, orci nec facilisis vehicula, neque urna porta risus, ut sagittis enim velit at orci. Fusce velit. Integer sapien enim, rhoncus vitae, cursus non, commodo vitae, felis. Nulla convallis ante sit amet urna. Maecenas condimentum hendrerit turpis. </div>body { font: normal normal normal x-large/200% arial, helvetica, sans-serif; }

Integer sapien enim, rhoncus vitae, cursus non, commodo vitae, felis. Nulla convallis ante sit amet urna. Maecenas condimentum hendrerit turpis.</div>

    body {
          font: normal normal normal x-large/200% arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
