text-align-last: justify;

/* Global values */

Values

auto: The affected line is aligned per the value of text-align, unless text-align is justify, in which case the effect is the same as setting text-align-last to start.
start: The same as left if direction is left-to-right and right if direction is right-to-left.
end: The same as right if direction is left-to-right and left if direction is right-to-left.
left: The inline contents are aligned to the left edge of the line box.
right: The inline contents are aligned to the right edge of the line box.
center: The inline contents are centered within the line box.
justify: The text is justified. Text should line up their left and right edges to the left and right content edges of the paragraph.

p {
  font-size: 1.4em;
