The first few tasks asked you to target the .intro class, and modify font-size and line-height. I'm guessing you passed them to get to this point.

The next task asked you to target a span element inside the .intro class, in a new rule. This new rule gets settings for font-weight and font-style.

:point_right: It looks like you modified the target of your first rule instead of creating a new one.

You should have two CSS rules at this point, each with two settings.
