While center alignment makes a page look symmetrical, it slows down the reading process, especially for users with cognitive or visual impairments. When applying center alignment, the text creates abrupt, uneven edges, forcing users to start each new line at a slightly different point.

Save center alignment for headlines, subheads, block quotes, call-to-action buttons, and other elements that are supposed to break the flow of the text to capture users' attention.^[1]
