Flush right alignment

Flush right text lines up along the right edge, with an uneven left edge. In the example, every line ends in the same place.

It is the natural alignment for right-to-left languages. In left-to-right interfaces, it is useful in small doses: dates and metadata, labels next to a form field, and numbers in a table.

Numbers in a column are easier to compare when they are right-aligned, because units, tens and hundreds line up. Use tabular figures, where every digit has the same width, and keep decimal places consistent, or align the decimal points when precision varies.
