Break Up Walls of Text
Some pages are just dense blocks of text with nothing to break them up. It's easy to lose your place or feel overwhelmed before you even start reading.
Paragraph borders add visual separation between sections. Each paragraph gets its own space, making it easier to see where one ends and the next begins.
