CSS font shorthand rule
Normally we are styling font with CSS like the example below:
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
font-variant: small-caps;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1.5em;
font-family: verdana,sans-serif
But no need of these much as lines, we can simply use CSS shorthand property,
font: bold italic small-caps 1em/1.5em verdana,sans-serif
Just a few of words of warning: This CSS shorthand version will only work if you're specifying both the font-size and the font-family. The font-family command must always be at the very end of this shorthand command, and font-size must come directly before this. Also, if you don't specify the font-weight, font-style, or font-variant then these values will automatically default to a value of normal, so do bear this in mind too.
