No there is not a way to do that.
It is the same with CSS as it is with print typography. The size of the
type specified is the size of the glyphs of the font specified. The
horizontal gutters between paragraphs and headings are set with more
lead in hot-metal; and, they are set with a margin on the Web. In other
words there is no direct correlation between the font-size and the
horizontal-gutters in CSS, other than the individual browser default for
margin. To kill the default margins add p {margin: 0 0 0 0;}. To adjust
the horizontal-gutter to suit your particular and quite peculiar
personal concept of typographic taste, tweak the margin-bottom to adjust
the height of the gutter. In hot metal, you would have added or removed
lead.
PS The purpose of typography is to make content readable.
