The horizontal positioning of lines of text within a column or text frame. The four principal alignments are:
- Flush left (ragged right) — the default for Latin-script body text, producing an even left edge and a natural, unforced right margin
- Flush right (ragged left) — used for captions, pull quotes, or right-to-left script contexts
- Centered — common in titles, invitations, and short display text
- Justified — where both left and right edges are aligned by stretching word and letter spacing, producing a clean block shape but risking uneven spacing and rivers of white space (affecting Typographic Color) if not managed with careful hyphenation
