right align

Text hugs margin

Right align means to position text or other elements so their right edges form a straight vertical line, with the left edges remaining ragged.

Common in tables for numerical data, where aligning decimal points aids comparison: Right align the dollar amounts in that column.

Also used for design effect in headers or captions.
