A fix for a problem most developers gave up on
If you’ve been building websites for a while, you’ve run into this:
A headline wraps onto two lines — and the second line just looks… wrong.
Build better products with
CSS
The break feels random. The layout is technically “fine,” but visually unbalanced.
You see it on marketing pages, in CMS-driven layouts, in blog teasers, everywhere.
And for years, we’ve worked around it:
- Inserting tags manually
- Tweaking max-width endlessly
- Writing JavaScript to measure and reflow text
- Or just accepting it and moving on
Then came: text-wrap: balance
A single line of CSS that quietly fixes a layout problem you’ve probably dealt with for years.
h1 { text-wrap: balance; }
That’s it. One line.
And suddenly, the browser tries to balance the line breaks — distributing the words in a way that feels more even.
Instead of:
Design that works
everywhere
You get:
Design that
works everywhere
Same content.
Same layout.
But better rhythm, better readability — and zero effort.
Why it’s impressive
Because it solves a real, long-standing problem — without hacks, scripts, or extra markup.
Because it makes line breaking declarative.
Because we finally don’t need to fight it.
- No trial-and-error
- No JavaScript
- No “Can we rewrite the headline?” conversations
