Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a spacing scale?

A spacing scale ensures consistent white space throughout your design, creating visual rhythm and hierarchy while reducing decision fatigue during development.

What is a good base spacing unit?

A base unit of 4px or 8px is common. From there, spacing values multiply: 4px, 8px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px, 64px create a versatile spacing scale.

How to implement spacing in CSS?

Define spacing as CSS custom properties: --space-xs, --space-sm, --space-md, --space-lg, --space-xl. Use these consistently for margin, padding, and gap values.
