Spacing

Spacing is calculated from minimum, 17, and maximum, 21, font sizes times a modifier. The spacing responds by a scale of 1.2 between viewport widths of 320 and 1100.

Size Modifier Min size @320 Max size @1100
xxs 0.25 4.25 5.25
xs 0.50 8.50 10.50
s 1.00 17.00 21.00
m 2.00 34.00 42.00
l 3.00 51.00 63.00
xl 4.00 68.00 84.00
xxl 5.00 85.00 105.00

Spacing classes

Spacing classes are available for all sizes and directions for padding and margin, in the following pattern:

.space--[type]-[direction]-[size]

For example, if you wanted to add m margin-top to an element, use the class:

.space--margin-top-m

There’s also a special all direction, which adds margin or padding to the whole element. For example,

.space--padding-all-s

The following example gives a visual representation of the scale, using padding.
