Hey Jimmy,

he doesn't declare it because it will change with every font. That's why he declares it dynamically when he uses the mixin. When the mixin is used Guil gives it the file name as the second parameter.

@include font-face('Abolition Regular', abolition-regular);

In this case the second parameter $file is abolition-regular. When the mixin is now executed it will insert abolition-regular.
