Putting It All Together with the font Property
Specifying multiple font properties for each text element
could get repetitive and lengthy, so the authors of CSS provided the
shorthand font property that compiles
all the font-related properties into one rule. Technically, font is more than just a shorthand property,
because it is the only property that allows authors to specify fonts
from the operating system of the user agent.
