Shorthand properties allow us to set the values of several properties in a single declaration, which saves time and makes the style sheet more readable.

<html>
 <head>
  <style>.trailer {font: italic bold 1.5em "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;}</style>
 </head>
 <body><div class="trailer">I'm font of you because you're my type.</div></body>
</html>

Sweet! The font property combines all font-related properties in a single declaration.

Psst: we have to include values for font-size and font-family; if any of the other values are missing, the default values will be used.

While this is a shorthand property, are you sure it works with these font-related properties?
