2:35 pm
While text that is justified at both right and left margins has a tidier effect, text that is justified on the left with a ragged right is actually easier to read. This is due to the fact that all spacing is uniform and no words are broken to wrap onto the next line. Both of these devices, though allowing uniform right and left edges, slow the reader’s eye down as the brain processes these differences.
