Arranging Lines of Type

There are five basic ways to arrange lines of type on a page. (1) Justified: all the lines are the same length and align both on the left and on the right. (2) Unjustified: the lines are of different lengths and align on the left and are ragged on the right. (3) A similar arrangement, except now the lines align on the right and are ragged on the left. (4) Centered: the lines are of unequal lengths with both sides ragged. (5) An asymmetrical arrangement with no predictable pattern in the placement of the lines.
