data-spacing

Alternative to classes you can also space via [data-spacing] with value(s) being any of the classes.

<p data-spacing="p1 m0 mb2">

All [data-spacing] selectors come after the classes in the cascade.

scaling

spacing variables default to rem and therefore can be scaled responsively with the rem size

:root {
  font-size: 1em;
  font-size: calc(.9em + .5vw + .5vh);
}

in CSS4 you could scale via media queries

:root {
  --space-1: .5rem;
  --space-2: 1rem;
  --space-3: 1.5rem;
  --space-4: 3rem;
}

@media (min-width: 30em) and (min-height: 20em) {
  :root {
    --space-1: .5rem;
    --space-2: 1rem;
    --space-3: 2rem;
    --space-4: 4rem;
  }
}
