It defines css classes for most css properties. Their website [1] explains why you might want that pretty well. Regarding file size, the idea is that you use something like PurgeCSS in your build pipeline, which removes all unused css classes. A bit like tree shaking for css.

Additionally so you can open up the developer tools, and just slap on classes on divs and experiment a bit quicker.

Towards the end you can put it all together and trim it down, not sure if there's tooling that auto joins some of the CSS as necessary though.
