I Shot the Serif
All Together Now

The font property is used to set all the font
properties, as well as the line-height property, which you
will learn about in a while. Any of the property values may be omitted,
so you can specify only the values of those properties you want to
change. The weight, style and variant can be specified in any order,
followed by the size, followed by a slash and the line height, followed
by the family.

I mentioned the line-height property a while back. This
is one of the text properties, font properties closest
relatives.
