justified text
Flush both sides
Justified text is text aligned so both left and right margins form straight edges, with spacing between words adjusted to fill each line completely.
Common in newspapers, books, and formal documents, it creates a clean, blocky appearance: The report was formatted with justified text for a polished look.
Poor justification can create awkward gaps called rivers.
