@Harsh Yes, a family (along with a size) is minimally required for the font shorthand property as you can see in the official definition.

| Jul 1, 2013 at 11:28 | comment | added | kumarharsh | a quickie: does this format also not require the font-family to be specified? My browsers are ignoring this property: font: 12px/16px; but accepting this: font: 12px/16px sans-serif; This behaviour is also documented here | |
| Mar 7, 2013 at 20:08 | comment | added | Dylan Lukes | I actually use this quite a bit. The designer I work with always refers to sizing as, for example, "14 over 22". I put it in by accident one day and was surprised/content when it worked. | |
