A term applicable to a block of text in which the lines of type have not been made flush with the right and/or and left margins of the page, or centered. Lines of type have not been set to the same length. As a result, letterspacing and wordspacing of unjustified text varies less than in justified text. Unjustified text has a somewhat ragged appearance in comparison to the neater look of justified text. See also JUSTIFIED RAGGED TEXT BLOCK
