Ah! This is brilliant. There are quite a few comments here about pitching this against other CSS frameworks or the actual use of this.
This is not a stand-alone framework or anything of that type. Treat as one of your scaffold components for your styling framework. Tailwind does this with their tailwind.config.js and is more of raw CSS design tokens. I just wish their commercial TailWindUI[1] make it easy to make use of it the better way.
I wish I saw Pollen a few months ago. I wanted to do an effortless design for my personal website and stick to as plain vanilla CSS as possible. The best way was to rely on CSS-Variables. I did do it from scratch[2]. It works though it is pretty hacky, and I'm not too concerned. Right now, I can swap few values and have an entirely different color scheme - light/dark version of my own, Nord Theme[3], and I will keep adding me whenever I get bored. I can even tweak the rhythms and spacing to my liking with just the variable. You should check out the demo[4] or look at the source[5] (wip).
For those who find this interesting, you should check out another interesting one I discovered a few months back -- css-media-vars[6].
