In this example, a pull quote is centered between two columns. The text has been 'pulled' from the bottom of the first column

A pull quote (also known as a lift-out quote) is a quotation or excerpt from an article that is typically placed in a larger or distinctive typeface on the same page, serving to entice readers into an article or to highlight a key topic. The term is principally used in journalism and publishing.^[1]

Placement of a pull quote on a page may be defined in a publication's or website's style guide. Such a typographic device may or may not be aligned with a column on the page: Some designers choose not to align the quote; in that case, the quotation cuts into two or more columns, as in the example shown at right.
