right-justified

Text against margin

Right-justified describes text aligned flush against the right margin, with the left edge ragged.

Common in columns of numbers where decimal alignment matters, and in certain design contexts.

Most Western text is left-justified, so right-justified blocks stand out: The date was right-justified in the header.
