Should headings be centered or left-aligned?
Text and headings should be flush left
Accordingly, text and headings should not be centered, flush right, or justified. As a left-to-right language, scanning English centered and flush right text is more difficult because location of the beginning of the lines changes.
Which text alignment is best?
The left-aligned text results in much better content readability, so all books, articles & newspapers are written this way. The left-aligned text helps to avoid unnecessary eye jumps, making the whole copy much easier to follow.
Why is left align text better?
Left-aligned text also performs best for readers because it helps the eye find the start of the next line when it leaves the end of the last one. Right-aligned or centred text changes the starting place of each line forcing readers to work harder to find where each line begins to continue reading.
Is left justified easier to read?
Fully justified text has adjusted spacing between words and sometimes adjusted space between letters. For most users, it is easiest to read text that is justified as it is read: for left-to-right scripts, left justified text is easier to read. for right-to-left scripts, right justified is easier to read.
