Hello TAG! I'm requesting a TAG review of the `text-wrap: balance` CSS property. This feature adjusts line breaking to balance the length of each line box in a block, for better readability and to prevent typographic widows. This feature is often used in headlines. There are several JavaScript libraries to achieve this effect, such as [NYTimes text balancer], [React Wrap Balancer], or [Adobe Balance Text]. [Jen's tweet](https://twitter.com/jensimmons/status/1542264788029423616) has a sample image, and it got a lot of positive responses from web developers.
