Since letters are not perfect rectangles, and you're mainly concerned with the aesthetic appeal of the end result rather than some "ideal" mathematical alignment, I will argue that there is no "proper" way other than manually moving the text around until the result appears pleasing to the eye. That said, with the example text you have given (where the big letters have no descenders), I *do* prefer alignment of the baselines of the bottom lines of text, with the upper two lines moved above: .ll 21c-5c .po 2.5c .sp 10 .nf .vs 0 .ps 10 \v'-12p'Sometown, Earth v...@johndoethetrueone.com .ps 28 \h'4.3c'John \[Fo]The Doe\[Fc] Doe .ps 10 .rj 2 \v'-12p'linkedin.com/in/j.doe github.com/j.doe .ps 10 .vs 12 .sp 3 Text (Using this template, you could of course also move the big middle text vertically. I've set the baseline spacing to zero, which allows the baselines of all text to be manually positioned relative to the same vertical location on the page.)
