Hey, What I think here that the font-size has been divided from 400%/70px.
I guess you know what bold does, it makes the text bold and serif sets the font-family.
For many CSS properties you could just specify one main keyword as font: and mention all the values in one row.
I like to specifiy each separately like 

font-family: sans-serif; 
font-weight: 400; 
font-size: 70px;

Although, I believe it would be better to use the calc() method to implement any calculations. 

/* property: calc(expression) */
width: calc(100% - 80px);
The calc() function takes a single expression as its parameter, with the expression's result used as the value.
