The #line aesthetic is all about the power of a single, well-placed mark. Horizontal dividers, elegant rule lines, and structured spacing transform a cluttered bio into something that looks genuinely designed and intentionally composed from top to bottom.
Line aesthetics in profiles grew from graphic design principles that found their way into internet culture through aesthetically minded communities on Tumblr and later Discord. The idea that a simple line could be a design choice — not just filler — changed the way people thought about profile layout.
Adding #line elements to your profile is one of the easiest ways to make it look significantly more polished. It's a small choice with a surprisingly big visual impact, and it shows that you actually think about how your profile is structured.

─ (box drawing horizontal line, U+2500) is the most versatile and widely supported. The en dash – repeated creates a similar effect. For dotted lines, · · · with consistent spacing reads cleanly. The choice between solid and dotted lines is itself an aesthetic decision - solid feels more structured, dotted feels softer and more decorative.
One line between major sections is the standard approach. Two full lines in a short bio usually means the structure is doing more work than the content. The goal of a line is to give the reader's eye a moment of rest between distinct pieces of information - use it where a natural pause would occur, not as decoration between every sentence.
─ renders consistently across Discord, Instagram, Twitter, and most platforms. Very long lines may wrap awkwardly on mobile screens if the line extends beyond the width of the display area. Test your profile on both desktop and mobile before finalizing, since a long divider that looks perfect on desktop can wrap into two short lines on a phone.
Yes, and the combination is often more visually interesting than either alone. ─── ✦ ─── is a classic that works well as a centered section divider. · ─────── · is another common pairing. The symbol in the center creates a focal point that makes the line feel purposeful rather than just functional.
At least three distinct pieces of information that benefit from visual separation. A two-line bio rarely needs a divider because the natural paragraph break already creates enough visual distinction. If your bio is one continuous block of text that you want to break up for readability, that's the right situation for a line - not as decoration but as structural aid.
