## Example

To specify an italic, 12px, sans-serif font for a paragraph, use the following syntax: `p { font: italic 12px sans-serif; }`.

## Remarks

Use the `font` property as a shortcut to typing out all of the individual font properties separately. You can specify any valid value for a `font` property as part of `font`.
