It is especially helpful in spreadsheets, tables, or formatted reports where numbers must line up cleanly. With a 95% success rate across major platforms, it is a reliable choice for numeric alignment.
Why It's Essential:
- Digit-Width Spacing - Matches numeral width for aligned columns
- Table Alignment - Keeps price and numeric columns visually consistent
