Centered setting

Also known as symmetrical typesetting

Centered setting is a symmetrical, evenly spread setting. Centered text should not be used in a body of text, it is suited for short texts.

Centered setting is sometimes also referred to as center axis setting, axial setting or symmetrical setting, but it is usually just called centered (e.g. in Microsoft Word).

It is commonly used for headlines, front pages, short texts, poems and songs.
