Everything about Line Length totally explained
In
Typography Line length is the width occupied by a block of
typeset text, measured in
inches,
picas and
points. A block of text or
paragraph has a maximum line length that fits a determined design.
Line length is determined by typographic parameters based on a formal
grid and
template with several goals in mind; balance and function for fit and readability with a sensitivity to aesthetic style in
typography.
Typographers adjust line length to aid legibility or copy fit. Text can be flush left and
ragged right,
flush right and
ragged left, or
justified where all lines are of equal length. In a ragged right setting line lengths vary to create a ragged right edge of lines varying in length. Sometimes this can be visually satisfying. For justified and ragged right settings typographers can adjust line length to avoid unwanted
hyphens,
rivers of white space, and
orphanned words/characters at the end of lines (eg: "The", "I", "He", "We").
