Spacing
To ensure a consistent use of spacing that also enables the user to scan and understand information quickly throughout the website, a spacing system of 4px is used. Nested elements use less spacing compared to elements that are separate from eachother and grouped differently.

Below you can see an example how the spacings are applied within components in each breakpoints. Depending on the type of component you can adjust accordingly.
Margins and padding for components
