Keylines are invisible guiding lines used by designers to ensure consistent alignment and placement of elements within a layout. Though they don’t appear in the final design, these lines help designers position text, images, icons, and other components in a balanced, organized way. By following keylines, designers create a cohesive visual structure that improves readability and enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the design.

To maintain keyline alignment in lists, ensure all list items align with a specific vertical guide or keyline. Start by choosing a consistent point for alignment, such as the left edge of text or the center of icons. Align all elements of the list (text, numbers, images, or bullets) to this keyline.
